Our Story

Comprised of local citizens, the Board of Trade took charge of all city improvements; anything from road repairs to raising money to purchase a fire truck. In February of 1922, then named the Clermont Chamber of Commerce was organized and absorbed the Board of Trade and elected Dr. Arthur L. Izlar as its president.
