So what is the state of commerce in Tuolumne County?
According to Harrison, “In talking with our chamber members, they are seeing an increase in business. We are seeing both expansions of existing business as well as new business coming to this area. We had a rough time after the recession and the Rim Fire. This is a great county to run a business in. We have a lot of networking here and huge support. People are really trying to do positive growth here.”
Harrision continued, “The Tuolumne County Chamber of Commerce is here to help educate, work with and assist local business. We want our members to think of their membership as an investment in the present and the future of Tuolumne County.
