Mission Statement:

The Mission of the Pontotoc County Main Street Association is to promote, support and enhance the quality of life and stimulate the economic development of Pontotoc County as an outstanding place to live and do business.

The Pontotoc Chamber of Commerce began as an official department in 1987. The need to address the growing industrial and retail markets were expanding. Our community leadership saw the need to push Pontotoc County forward into the proper business climate. The Chamber has continued with this job for 23 years.

The Main Street Association was first talked about with the leadership of our community in the early 90’s. Action was taken seriously in the fall of 2006 when our application to join the MS Main Street Association was submitted. In October of ’06 we became the First Countywide Main Street Program in the State of Mississippi. The investiture took place in the Historical Courthouse on the Square in Pontotoc January 30, 2007.

The board of the Chamber and Main Street joined forces in June of 2009 to form the Pontotoc County Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Association. One board with the four point approach of the Main Street program leads the group.
