ESCANABA — The Delta County Area Chamber of Commerce provides an avenue for our business people to play a leadership role in building a healthy, vibrant community. We are a partner to every community, every business, and every citizen.

When a business joins the Delta County Area Chamber of Commerce, they become part of a county-wide network of businesses that have come together to promote quality of life in our area through a healthy business climate. This type of network is more important than ever during these uncertain times.

During its regularly scheduled board meeting held on September 14th, four businesses were presented and approved for membership by the Delta Chamber Board of Directors.

Rejoining after new ownership, we invite you to visit and experience the Historic House of Ludington. You will enjoy the proximity to Escanaba’s downtown shopping and dining, Ludington Park, Sand Island beach, Little Bay de Noc and Lake Michigan. Plan a getaway for yourself or gathering for your group, business meeting, wedding, or family reunion. The House of Ludington is often referred to as Escanaba’s Crown Jewel. Built in 1864 it is one of the oldest hotels in Michigan. Check out their Facebook page for weekly specials and live entertainment offerings!
