Award-Winning Momentum for Memphis
The Greater Memphis Chamber has once again brought national attention to our city, having received its second consecutive Deal of the Year Award from Business Facilities magazine. This time, the 2025 Impact Award recognizes the Chamber’s Rural Renewal initiative, honoring sustained efforts to boost economic development in the surrounding rural communities that help define the Greater Memphis region.
Connecting Memphis Roots to Regional Growth
Rural Renewal isn’t just a tagline—it’s a nod to our city’s legacy of grit and growth, especially in the neighborhoods and towns just beyond the city’s core. The Chamber’s work has created new investment opportunities in industry and infrastructure, drawing on local workforce strength that stretches from Orange Mound to Millington and beyond. The result: a brighter future for families and businesses throughout the Mid-South.
Honoring Collaboration and Vision
This award highlights the Chamber’s strategy of partnership, bringing together state officials, local entrepreneurs, and Memphis-based organizations. By building on Memphis’s reputation as America’s logistics and distribution powerhouse—and infusing innovation in rural spaces—this win promises a more resilient economy for everyone in the 901 area code.
