Welcome to the Benton Area Chamber of Commerce

On behalf of the Benton Area Chamber of Commerce, let me welcome you to Benton, a city with a heart. Benton is unique in that with more than 27,000 citizens, we manage to maintain a small town atmosphere. Yes, Benton personifies Americana at its finest!

Benton schools are among the finest in the South, with ACT and SAT scores averaging well above state and national averages. Academics are stressed at all grade levels in an effort to better prepare our children to compete on a global scale. School spirit, while high at all times, peaks during the fall as evidenced by the huge crowds that turn out for Panther football and basketball, the annual Salt Bowl game against Bryant, and many more school events.

Our community — and our county — understands the need to work together for the good of residents and the economy. As a chamber, we support our business owners and their need to compete while also supporting and helping area nonprofit groups as they work to meet the needs of those less fortunate. We are truly an organization that is business focused and community minded.

The Benton Area Chamber of Commerce's more than 500 members are here to offer you the products and services you need, along with the customer service you'd expect from a Chamber member. Through our website, you can search out answers to all of your questions about Benton. From living, working and health care to shopping, recreation and retirement, we've tried to include the information you're looking for about Benton.  If you have any questions about our community or our commerce, please call or come by and see us at the Benton Area Chamber of Commerce.
