The Alliance focuses on promoting entrepreneurial start-ups, business expansion and retention, and new job creation; advocacy; workforce development; connecting people and businesses; community, minority, and small business development; and the cultivation of local and regional leadership.

In 2016, the Alliance combined the longstanding work of the Lynchburg Regional Chamber and the Region 2000 Business & Economic Alliance. This merger brought the 130 year old Chamber of Commerce and our region economic development entity under one roof.
