The Bellefonte Area Chamber of Commerce was established in 1938 to promote the economic benefit of its members and the development of business in the Bellefonte area. Its service area was later expanded to include the Intervalley Area and now includes Bellefonte, Howard, and Milesburg Borough and the townships of Boggs, Curtin, Howard, Liberty, Benner, Marion, Spring, and Walker.

The ever-increasing membership of the Bellefonte Intervalley Area Chamber of Commerce is comprised of both small and large businesses located throughout Centre County, including the Centre Region, who rely on the Chamber to provide economic development assistance, cooperative marketing opportunities, business promotions, referrals, and health insurance programs. In addition, the Chamber provides advocacy for its members and works closely with local community groups in helping to plan and promote activities which are geared at economic revitalization and development.

This website provides information on business matters for both the public and for members of the Chamber. Members are encouraged to register to have access content set aside just for them. More will be added all the time. If you find a topic or content missing that you think should be added, please feel free to call the offce at the number below.

"Save Our Station" Campaign succeeding 

The Save Our Station fundraising campaign is a success. The funds have been used for building renovations and rehabilitation of the termite damage. Bob The Painter completed the exterior painting. Polar Blast cleaned the bricks on the building and Mark Russo washed all the windows and doors. The inside of the building has been repainted, the woodwork and floors refinished. Rex Mattern designed and built custom interior storm windows for the large windows. Chris Berenty upgraded the electric service. The building has been given a beautiful facelift. Thank you to all those who contributed money and services to save this historic train station for our community.
