Polk County Chamber of Commerce to
Open New Welcome Center in Historic Downtown Copperhill

If you attended the recent banquet, you probably heard the news of our plans to open a new Welcome Center in the heart of historic downtown Copperhill. Jennie DeCook, Chamber Board President, stated, “The new space will serve as a resource hub for visitors exploring the Copper Basin area, offering brochures, maps, and information on local attractions, including our outdoor recreation, lodging, dining, entertainment, and more. It is our goal to provide valuable insights to help a first-time visitor or a long-time fan of the area make the most of their time in the Copper Basin and Polk County.”

Opening date and operating hours will be announced soon, as well as details on an upcoming open house to explore the Center and visit with our Chamber staff and Board members. Check back here or follow Polk County Chamber of Commerce on social media for those updates. Members in the hospitality area may contact the Chamber office at (423) 338-5040 for information on displaying materials in the Welcome Center.
