About Us

At the Barnesville-Lamar County Chamber of Commerce, we’re more than just a networking group. We’re the driving force behind local business growth, community connection, and economic opportunity.

Our mission is to support, promote, and advocate for the businesses, leaders, and citizens who make Barnesville and Lamar County thrive.



Here’s how we serve our members and our community:

Business Growth & Support

At the Chamber, we provide hands-on support to help businesses grow and thrive. Whether you're opening your first storefront or expanding an established operation, we offer guidance, visibility, and tools tailored to your success. Our team works one-on-one with members to promote local services, celebrate milestones, and connect them with resources that make a difference.

Local Leadership & Policy Advocacy

We are a strong, trusted voice for business in Barnesville and Lamar County. The Chamber regularly engages with elected officials and city leadership to ensure local businesses are represented in policy decisions. We believe in honest dialogue, shared solutions, and forward-thinking leadership that reflects the needs of the people who live and work here.

Events & Networking

Throughout the year, the Chamber brings people together to collaborate, celebrate, and build relationships. From monthly breakfast meetups to large-scale festivals like Buggy Days and BBQ & Blues, our events create meaningful opportunities for members to connect and grow their visibility within the community.

Tourism, Relocation & Local Charm

The Barnesville-Lamar County Chamber of Commerce proudly serves as the official Tourism Center for our community. From our downtown office, we welcome visitors, assist with relocation questions, and share what makes Barnesville special.



We promote major festivals, historic tours, and local events — including nonprofit-led traditions like the Historic Tour of Homes — helping both guests and residents discover the heart of Barnesville.

Building Lamar County's Future

Our commitment to economic progress runs deep. In partnership with the Industrial Development Authority and local government, we work to recruit new industries, support existing employers, and strengthen our workforce pipeline. We believe in planned, sustainable development that benefits every corner of Lamar County, from rural landowners to downtown storefronts.
