Franklinton Chamber of Commerce Announces Name Change to Washington Chamber of Commerce

Press Release

September 26,2024 - Franklinton, Louisiana – The Franklinton Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that it will now be operating under the trade name as Washington Chamber of Commerce.

For years, the Franklinton Chamber has worked tirelessly to support local businesses, foster economic development, and strengthen community ties. As our region has evolved and expanded, so too has our role. The name Washington Chamber of Commerce better represents our vision for the future, aligning us with the broader regional identity and positioning us for greater visibility and influence on a state scale.

The decision to rename the chamber was made after careful consideration and input from our members, local stakeholders, and community leaders. We believe that the name “Washington” will attract new opportunities, elevate our status, and better serve our mission to advocate for businesses in the modern economic landscape.

President Penny Jones of the Washington Chamber of Commerce, said, “This name change marks an important step in our chamber’s evolution. While we are incredibly proud of our Franklinton roots, the new name allows us to expand our horizons, open new doors for collaboration, and continue to promote and strengthen our business community.” Members and partners can expect the same dedicated support and services, now with the added benefit of a brand that reflects our forward-thinking approach and ambition. Over the coming weeks, we will be updating our materials and online presence to reflect the name change, while continuing our work to support local businesses and foster sustainable economic growth.
