In March of 2009, the Chamber of Commerce, along with their five (5) other partner organizations, moved into the newly renovated Schnorf Hardware and Wagner Buildings; creating the new Center for Business Services.
The new facility hosts the Chamber as well as The Lima/Allen County Convention & Visitors Bureau, Allen Economic Development Group, Downtown Lima, Inc., Allen/Lima Leadership, Lima/Allen County College Access/GEAR-Up program, Walter C. Potts Entrepreneurial Center and offers a premier banquet room (the "City Club") run by Veterans' Memorial Civic and Convention Center.
Creating a one-stop shop for business services, the partnering businesses hope this renovation will serve as a catalyst for the community to revitatlize the downwotn business community.
The Center for Business Services plays host in welcoming new investors, businesses and community residents to the Lima/Allen County Region. For additional information regarding the Center for Business Services or any of the organizations who call the facility home, email:chamber@limachamber.com or call: 419.222.6045.
