Should three chambers become one?

In Oconee County, there are chambers of commerce in the three largest towns.  In Seneca, it’s the Oconee Chamber of Commerce.  And there are the Walhalla and Westminster chambers of commerce.  But is 2016 the time that chamber leaders decide to create one true chamber of commerce serving interests countywide?  Vanessa Penton of Walhalla says a proposal to accomplish that is now before the board of all three chambers.  She spoke today to the Walhalla Rotary Club.  Answering a 101.7/WGOG NEWS question, Penton said she would be interested in the job of executive director of one county chamber and expects she would apply for the position, should it be created and become available.
