The North Platte Area Chamber of Commerce & Development Corporation is a private, non-profit organization of business professionals who are dedicated to improving the economic and civic environment of the North Platte area while fostering the growth and prosperity of business.
This organization was formed on April 1, 2008, when the North Platte Area Chamber of Commerce and the Development Corporation of North Platte (DEVCO) merged together. The Chamber and DEVCO were two successful organizations working to improve and develop our community. After much thought, both Boards of Directors determined that these organizations would make extraodinary accomplishments working together as one entity.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world’s largest business organization representing the interests of more than 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions. Our members range from mom-and-pop shops and local chambers to leading industry associations and large corporations. They all share one thing—they count on the Chamber to be their voice in Washington, D.C.
