What is the Emporia-Greensville Chamber of Commerce? The Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary, non-profit organization, uniting individuals, business professionals, and community leaders, striving to help its members prosper. As a small community comprised mostly of small businesses, the Chamber is a central agency whose purpose is to improve the quality of life and the business climate. Why is it Important to Join? The Chamber is one of the first places visited by individuals and/or companies who are interested in relocating here. As a result, we receive scores of inquiries about the area and your businesses. The chamber answers every one promptly and courteously to create favorable impressions of our community. We work hard to portray a warm, professional image. What are the Benefits? The Chamber sponsors monthly meetings, where a speaker is sometimes invited to discuss pertinent topics. The chamber also offers Business After Hours and Business at Breakfast, where members have a chance to network and socialize and get to know one another in an informal setting. At the end of the year an annual dinner meeting recognizes outstanding members. Awards are presented and new officers are introduced.

Emporia-Greensville Recreation Association, Inc. The Emporia-Greensville Recreation Association, Inc. (EGRA) was established around 1950 as the Civic Recreation Association. Initially, area civic clubs and individuals helped build the Center Street swimming pool and tennis courts. Different clubs would sponsor various baseball teams. Thus for many years, teams were known by club names such as Rotary, Lions, etc. In the early 1970s, the Association was reorganized. Funding from Emporia and Greensville County was sought to expand programs. A lighted baseball field was built on Center Street and the swimming pool, which had fallen into a state disrepair, was renovated. Programming was expanded to include softball for girls and women, as well as other sports such as basketball, football and soccer. Lighted twin tennis courts, a tot playground and picnic shelter were also added. In the early 1980s another major project was conducted by EGRA which made it the largest provider of public recreation in Emporia and Greensville County. Meherrin River Park was constructed on the site of the former Emporia city dump east of the Lee Street river bridge. Built after the City closed the dump, Meherrin River Park complex included five lighted athletic fields with facilities for baseball, softball, soccer and football. Two playgrounds and a large picnic pavilion were added. A state grant of $100,000 was matched with over $100,000 in local funds which came from the City, County and various fund raising projects. When the nearly 50 year old Center Street pool finally failed and the Association outgrew the Center Street Park, most league activities were moved to Meherrin Park where there was more space, parking and now even a boat ramp. When the new millennium began in 2000, EGRA provided recreation in organized leagues to over 1,000 people and an estimated 30,000 visitors used the association operated parks, Meherrin River and Center Street. In all, the parks include: 18 acres of land, 6 lighted ball fields, 3 soccer fields, an all purpose practice field, twin tennis courts, 2 playgrounds and 2 picnic shelters. While many of the activities of the organized leagues have had a youth focus, men and women play softball on EGRA fields, as do some teams from Greensville County Schools when needed. EGRA programming averages 12 leagues with 88 teams and about 1,200 players. Since Emporia and Greensville County do not operate their own public recreation programs, groups like E.G.R.A. provide a cost efficient recreation delivery system partially funded with public money, but offset by volunteers, part-time employees, fees and fundraising.

Our Mission The mission of the Meherrin River Arts Council is to produce an annual concert series that features nationally known entertainers who perform a wide genre of music at a reasonable cost to our patrons. To provide various performing arts programming in the local schools. History In 1978, after perceiving a tremendous need for a performing arts series in the Emporia-Greensville area, a group of concerned citizens formed the Meherrin River Arts Council (MRAC). The MRAC--named after a historical river that runs right through the heart of the City of Emporia and Greensville County--took on the unusual task of bringing national-quality arts entertainment to a small-town setting in Southside Virginia.
