The Pana Chamber of Commerce has amassed 250 members, representing and helping businesses from Decatur to Pana. Michael Breedlove, Coordinator for the Pana Chamber of Commerce says businesses do not need to reside in Pana in order to be a part of the chamber.

Breedlove explains that this expansion into other communities looks to bring more residents to the City of Pana and to grow their economic tax base.

Joining the chamber as a business member is easy says Breedlove. The chamber aids heavily in marketing as those social media accounts may reach more folks than that of the business owners.

The goal for the chamber is to gain more members and fight towards a common goal says Breedlove.
