The motto of the Patrick County Chamber of Commerce is “Community is our Business” and community has never been so vital as it is now. Our community has come together to help each other, welcome new members to our community and embrace new businesses that have opened in Patrick County. It is the Chamber’s business to help our community from beautification grants, business assistance, tourism related activities and events such as Stuart Spooktacular and Hometown Christmas.
