The Dade City Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to making our hometown a better place to live and work. We interface with local, state and federal governments, civic organizations, non-profits and any other group that participates in the decision processes that impact the region.

We are especially concerned with representing the interests of the business and professional community in the pursuit of economic development. As a Main Street Historic Community, Dade City's Chamber has a unique interest in helping preserve significant buildings and sites while working to bring new jobs and business opportunities to our residents.
