On behalf of the Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce and its Economic Development Commission, Welcome!

The Santa Maria Valley is a vibrant, dynamic and prosperous place to live, work and raise a family. Located on the Central Coast of California, the region offers great opportunity to the citizens and the business community. The fastest growing City in Santa Barbara County, the All America City of Santa Maria, stands at the center of that growth.

Santa Maria is in an area known for its agricultural surroundings and its backdrop of coastline and wine country provide unlimited year-round recreation and leisure opportunities. An energetic workforce, excellent schools, low crime, great weather, wonderful air quality and abundant water are just a few of the many reasons businesses come to our City.

Our commitment is to provide one website which allows visitors the opportunity to get the pertinent and current information to assist with any expansion or relocation needs. This is reflected in our vision at assisting the community by creating myriad economic opportunities which in turn contribute to the financial stability of the Santa Maria Valley.

Please take a few minutes to get to know the Chamber and the services we provide. Please contact me directly if I may be of assistance in any way. We look forward to partnering with you to make our community an even better place to live and do business.

Sincerely,
Robert P. Hatch, President and CEO
