Message from the
President “The mission of the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce is to promote a positive growing business community.”
Howdy and “Willkommen” to
our part of Texas!
We wish you a hearty German-Texas welcome from the
heart of the Texas Hill Country!
We are proud of Fredericksburg, Texas and Gillespie
County and its unique history, as well as the giant
strides in progress the community has taken since its
founding in 1846. The Chamber, started in 1922 as a
progressive businessmen’s league, has played a vital
part in the development of Fredericksburg and
Gillespie County.
Now, 150 years later, we believe it would be hard
to match our community in education, health care,
quality of life and activities for both young and old.
We are convenient to major airports yet are nestled
away in the Texas hills, away from urban congestion.
We started as an agricultural community and have
kept that heritage and are known as the “city of
steeples” for our large list of houses of worship and
religious denominations.
Our quality of life encompasses excellent education
and health care facilities, superb police and fire
protection and emergency services and a Texas Hill
Country environment that abounds in recreational and
relaxation opportunities.
Over the last 25 years tourism has taken a giant
step forward and is now a big part of our economy, yet
we work hard to maintain a balance of a thriving
tourism industry vital to our economy and a rural
cultural heritage that adds to our quality of life.
Our rich soil provides us with an active
agriculture industry and we work to balance our
economy with a thriving manufacturing segment and
continue to work in attracting high technology
industries.
Our offices offer a number of services for existing
businesses and potential businesses as well as
relocation assistance. The Chamber’s Convention &
Visitors Bureau is active in promoting the many
attractions in the area and the Gillespie County
Economic Development Commission is ready to help you
with your business needs.
We are ready to be
an information resource for you. One way we can
accomplish this is through this website. We have tried
to include every piece of information available that
will help you in your business environment. We welcome
you to browse our website to find out more about us.
I can be reached directly at
president@fredericksburg-texas.com and our
toll-free number is 1-888-997-3600. Our regular number
is 830-997-6523.
Let us know how we can help and, once again,
welcome to our special part of Texas.
