Malone Chamber of Commerce

What Does the Malone Chamber do?

During the past year, the Malone Chamber of Commerce has joined with numerous other local and regional organizations in an effort to help create economic and cultural opportunities in our community.

We have recently held our Summer Fest event in Arsenal Green where a variety of vendors were set up. The Elks Lodge offered a ribs and chicken bar-b-que. Franklin Academy Swinging Sounds sang at noon, with the Lou Dacques band playing from 1 - 5 pm. "Top the Dog" contest had 9 entries and Walter Yelle was the winner of his chili topped with cheese.

Our concert in the park series will be happening once again on Friday nights in July.

*We successfully partnered with our partner Chambers in Franklin County to lay the groundwork for more focused marketing and promotion of the area’s hospitality industry by creating a private sector controlled professional marketing and event organizing effort funded by an occupancy fee for visitors staying in Franklin County accommodations. This effort puts us on an equal footing with most other counties in New York and other municipalities in the United States and provides us with the means to promote tourism more effectively.

*Historical District Project- the Malone Chamber is working with the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historical Preservation to establish an official historic district in Malone. The Chamber has been greatly aided in this effort by local businessman John Mills who has provided documentation and a large amount of organized data that is necessary to secure the designation.

*The Malone Chamber is partnering with the FishCap organization to help brand this area as a world class fishing destination to fully take advantage of our area’s natural strengths. We support the Annual Hendrickson Hatch Fly Fishing Tournament.


*The Chamber sponsors and conducts the annual Santa in the park event.

*We are working with our Plattsburgh partners to leverage EB-5 investment capital for local projects.

*We regularly meet with local, state and federal officials and provide a voice for the interests of our members and communities.

*The Malone Chamber is the major source for information sought by visitors, businesses and others making area inquiries and the Malone Chamber’s policy is to make referrals and furnish information about our members first, an important benefit of membership.

*Our partnership with the Plattsburgh/North Country Chamber of Commerce has brought the added benefits of competitive group health insurance, the availability to join the North Country Energy Coop, access and membership in the Commerce Card program, business and professional training seminars and the additional political clout that comes from being part of one of the largest business organizations in the state with an extraordinary record of accomplishments.

*We support the economic interests of Franklin County and the economic drivers identified in the North Country Regional Economic Development Plan.
