The Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance is a nonprofit organization that functions as both a chamber of commerce and an economic development office in Central Virginia. It serves the Lynchburg region, including Appomattox, Amherst, Campbell, and Bedford counties and the City of Lynchburg, coordinating initiatives to support local businesses and attract investment. As the region's combined chamber and economic development entity, it focuses on entrepreneurship, business retention and expansion, job creation, workforce development, and leadership cultivation. Founded in 1883 as the Lynchburg Chamber of Commerce, it is one of Virginia's oldest chambers and holds Five-Star Accreditation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Based in Lynchburg, Virginia, the Alliance operates as a locally focused nonprofit that connects people and firms, supports community and minority business development, and aims to elevate the region's branding globally. A notable 2024 collaboration with Bedford County Office of Economic Development supported a Solarix manufacturing facility project in Forest, illustrating ongoing regional partnership.
