Supporting Business, Tourism, and Economic Development in the Heart of Folsom

Choose Folsom

For over 50 years, the Folsom Chamber has championed local growth. Today, as Choose Folsom, we unify business support, tourism promotion, and economic development to create opportunities and shape Folsom’s future as a vibrant, thriving community.

Our Story

For over half a century, the Folsom Chamber of Commerce has been at the heart of Folsom’s business community, evolving and expanding alongside the city itself.

Originally founded in the early 1960s, the Folsom Chamber was established to advocate for local businesses and support the economic prosperity of our growing community.

Over the years, our organization has transformed, aligning with the dynamic needs of Folsom and becoming the comprehensive, unified entity you know today: Choose Folsom.

The Evolution

From Chamber to Choose Folsom

As Folsom thrived, it became clear that the organization needed to evolve beyond a traditional Chamber of Commerce to address the broader vision of our community. In response, we expanded our scope to include not only business advocacy but also tourism promotion and economic development. By integrating these three pillars under one brand, Choose Folsom emerged as the driving force behind our city’s growth, development, and vibrant quality of life.

Chamber of Commerce

The backbone of our organization, the Chamber continues its mission of supporting and representing the business community. We provide resources, networking opportunities, and advocacy to help local businesses succeed and thrive in Folsom.

Visit Folsom (Tourism)

Recognizing Folsom’s unique appeal as a destination for outdoor adventure, history, and culture, we launched Visit Folsom to highlight the city’s attractions and bring visitors to our region. From miles of scenic bike trails to the historic Folsom Prison and Lake Natoma, our tourism efforts showcase the best that Folsom has to offer.

Economic Development

With Folsom’s rapid growth, fostering a strong, innovative economy has become a priority. Our Economic Development arm works to attract new businesses, support existing enterprises, and drive strategic development projects. We focus on creating a thriving business ecosystem that provides quality jobs and enhances the economic vitality of our region.

The name “Choose Folsom” reflects the essence of our community—whether you choose to live, work, play, or grow your business here, Folsom offers unmatched opportunities and a high quality of life. We believe that all roads lead to Folsom, and our mission is to connect businesses, residents, and visitors to everything that makes our city a remarkable place.
