Gouverneur Chamber of Commerce
53 Herm Towne Road Gouverneur, NY 13642
Gouverneur "The One and Only"
Gouverneur is the only town of this name in the entire United States. The Greater Gouverneur Area Chamber of Commerce is a community organization whose members work to promote economic vitality and prosperity in the Gouverneur area. Our community offers a business-friendly environment, an excellent hospital, and a small-town atmosphere.
​
Gouverneur is home to large companies like Cives and Kinney Drugs, but included in our membership, are many other wonderful large and small businesses. The Chamber sponsors and supports the Community Garage Sales, the Pumpkin Festival, and provides scholarship awards to the local BOCES through the Student of the Month.
​
The Gouverneur and St. Lawrence County Fair draws hundreds from all over the North Country, as does our Flag Day parade and other events. Our newly renovated village park is the setting for the Gouverneur Chamber's Christmas parade and the Flag Day Parade, which always draws a great crowd.​
​​​​
Our new Village Park gazebo is getting rave reviews. It is a beautiful space for community events. It already is hosting events like the Farmer's Market and the Gouverneur Breast & Ovarian Cancer Walk. The park is bordered by churches, the Gouverneur Library, the Gouverneur Museum, and Main Street shops. The giant "LifeSavers®" in the Village Park is always a conversation starter. The story behind its arrival in the Village Park is an interesting one. ​​​
