South County started 2021 with four chambers of commerce, and it now has two as the longtime organizations are joining together or merging.
The Crestwood-Sunset Hills Area Chamber has a new and more regional name, Southwest Area Chamber of Commerce, and has expanded its area to cover Oakville and Concord after the South County Chamber of Commerce dissolved at the beginning of this year.
The Affton Chamber of Commerce and the Lemay Chamber of Commerce will be merging, a process that will take longer because they have to go through the legal steps to combine organizations. It is unclear what the new name will be.
