Throughout its over 55 year history, the Winnsboro – Franklin Parish Chamber of Commerce has played an important role in the growth and development of Winnsboro and Franklin Parish. The Chamber boasts a broad cross-section of members from throughout the parish and, though that membership, has helped forge a better understanding and appreciation of the importance of local business.
The Chamber’s monthly membership meetings – held at noon on the first Thursday of every month – provide important insight into local, state, and national issues by way of informative presentations by knowledgeable and respected speakers. Subjects such as job training programs, tax issues, and upcoming state and national legislation are just a few of the topics that have been discussed at recent Chamber meetings, and more timely topics are planned for the future.
Winnsboro and Franklin Parish comprise a bright spot in economic structure of northeastern Louisiana. With the four-laning of Louisiana 15 – the main artery through the parish – unlimited opportunities are now available for businesses looking for a new home. That heavily traveled north-south link, coupled with a stable and diverse business community and unique natural resources, helps make Winnsboro and Franklin Parish an economic hub for the surrounding parishes, as well as a great place to live and raise a family.
