Eastern Collier Chamber of Commerce

Serving Immokalee and Ave Maria

     Welcome to the Greater Eastern Collier Chamber of Commerce located in Immokalee, Florida. Collier County's largest non-coastal community, long associated with sprawling cattle ranches and a thriving agricultural economy.

      Once known as Immokalee Chamber of Commerce, the preceding Board of Directors a few years ago have decided to include a new development next door known as Ave Maria and eventually include Big Cypress. The Chamber feels having Immokalee with it’s beautiful Lake Trafford, authentic restaurants, bustling Farmer’s Market, the expandable airport and the biggest attraction the Seminole Casino combine with Ave Maria University, Panther Run Golf and the center of town “La Piazza” will add to the Tourism. When you combine both communities you have a huge list of places to go, places to eat and places to entertain. The community is coming together to make the most of important economic opportunities, such as a designation like the "Enterprise Zone", "Free Foreign Trade Zone", and a "Hub Zone".  Immokalee is, indeed, facing the future "Where Worlds of Opportunity Begin".

     We succeed for our members by providing up-to-date information on legislation, programs and business trends that directly impact you and your business. By promoting positive interaction between organizations and planning for the area's future, the Greater Eastern Collier Chamber of Commerce is among the most important associations you can join.  Benefits include:
