The Canton Chamber of Commerce Main Street Association promotes and participates in the business, industrial, and educational development of Canton.  It works to make Canton an attractive, safe, and preferred choice to live and work.

The majority of the membership is comprised of small businesses and individuals interested in prospering and creating a healthy environment in which to live and conduct business. The small town atmosphere and community pride has proven to be a motivating factor in getting businesses and individuals involved, and to volunteer their time and efforts toward a common goal.

Through the partnership created with the public and private sector, Canton has recaptured the feeling of "stepping back in time" while re-creating a Central Business district that is positioning Canton for its place in the twenty-first century.
