In operation for more than 70 years, the Brookhaven-Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce is comprised of approximately 700 members and is one of the oldest, most successful Chambers of Commerce in the State of Mississippi.

The Chamber of Commerce has an active and successful Industrial Development Foundation (IDF). The IDF is charged with managing the existing industrial park, securing additional industrial park property, existing business/industry relations and to further the economic welfare of Lincoln County with regard to industrial location, development, and expansion through cooperative efforts.

The Brookhaven-Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce recognizes the importance of helping retirees relocate to our area. Since 1996, over 50 documented retirees have chosen Brookhaven as their retirement destination. The Chamber of Commerce helped make Brookhaven one of Mississippi's first certified retirement communities.

Finally, the Chamber of Commerce has five major divisions: Internal Affairs, Community Development, Economic Development, Education and Membership Services. Of these divisions, the chamber manages over 20 active committees ranging from Community Appearance to Small Business/Retail.
