Corona Chamber of Commerce DBA The Greater Corona Valley Chamber of Commerce

Our exciting, new logo is here and it reflects the Corona Chamber of Commerce DBA The Greater Corona Valley Chamber of Commerce. This name change aligns with the 2010 initiatives and the chambers' 5 core competencies: (1) Creating a Strong Local Economy; (2) Promoting the Community; (3) Providing Networking Opportunities and Business Referrals; (4) Representing the Interest of Business with Government; and (5) Promoting Political Action to Ensure a Favorable Business Climate. Residents of Corona have long known the Chamber is committed to local business vitality. In this present economic state, the Chamber is responding to membership survey data with a new user-friendly website, and by increasing opportunities for local businesses beyond city borders into the greater valley.

Upon receiving many art logos, it became clear which design represented the rich history of Corona and embodied the new message of a greater community. The new logo has 3 clear images that visually represent our area. The letter C symbolizes the greater Corona community, the 3 graphic designs symbolize the valleys, and the 3 bold colors of green, orange, and yellow symbolize the agricultural and citrus roots of the region. The newly enhanced and updated website showcases this new logo. Over the remainder of year, community and Chamber members will start to see this new logo on stationary, publications, and new advertising.

Since 1915, this chamber has been providing business with resources for prosperity. A strong, dynamic business community benefits everyone in the greater Corona trade area. Your Corona Valley Chamber connects local businesses, service organizations and all levels of government to create an environment where people want to live, work and play.

Corona's location adjacent to Orange County offers it the unique opportunity to serve as the gateway to the Inland Empire. The City's pro-business attitude, together with close attention to economic development policies, have recently made it one of Southern California's more prosperous communities. As indicated above, its median income now surpasses Orange County's and ranks above six of that area's eight largest cities. The payroll released by firms and agencies in Corona is at a record level, as is the city's average pay per job. Corona's industrial market has shown continued strength with an unusually low vacancy rate. Its elementary, middle and high school students have consistently been testing above California's averages on the Academic Performance Index. And, the city's crime rate remains one of the state's lowest.

Looking at long term sustainability, the competitive advantages that have caused Corona to become a prosperous city and made the Inland Empire one of America's most dynamic economies continue to exist. Southern California continues to add people. This future growth, coupled with a strong and vibrant local economy, should give Corona a sustainable competitive advantage over others in the region for years to come.  With a community as unique and geographically advantaged as Corona, clearly the best is yet to come.
