With varying participation from municipal government, it's a portal for new businesses to come to for help and information, networking with other business owners, representing businesses in addressing the city, sometimes informal arbitration, etc. There are only a handful of existing tags with the name "[Cc]hamber [oO]f [Cc]ommerce", with no consistent tagging.<br>

Any objection to amenity=chamber_of_commerce ?<br><font color="#888888">
