**Our Mission and Purpose** St. Johnsbury Chamber of Commerce stimulates and promotes the vitality of St. Johnsbury’s cultural, commercial, and community resources. As both a Chamber of Commerce and a Designated Downtown organization, part of the National Main Street Program, we combine the economic and commercial goals of a Chamber with the structure of a Designated Downtown organization. This powerful partnership helps us serve the people and businesses of St. Johnsbury efficiently and effectively. **History** The St. Johnsbury Chamber of Commerce was founded in 2001 as a non-profit 501c3 and as the organization to represent the Town of St. Johnsbury’s Designated Downtown. In 2010, we changed our name to St. Johnsbury Works! dba St. Johnsbury Chamber of Commerce, and usually refer to ourselves as the St. Johnsbury Chamber of Commerce. We are part of the National Main Street program, and a local chamber. As a 501c3 charitable organization, focused on education and revitalization activities, contributions are tax deductible charitable contributions. **National Main Street Program** We are part of the National Main Street Program and continue to follow their proven downtown revitalization strategy, the Four Point approach. For more information on downtown revitalization and its role in economic development of a community read the article Downtown Revitalization. Because St. Johnsbury has a community-funded Designated Downtown Organization, businesses operating and projects taking place in the designated downtown district may be eligible for several different incentives including Federal and State funding and tax credits.
