The Greenville-Pitt County Chamber of Commerce's Intercity Visit is designed to bring community and business leaders together to learn from one of the Southeast's most dynamic cities.  Through meetings with civic, government, and business leaders, participants will explore innovative approaches to economic development, downtown revitalization, workforce initiatives, and quality-of-life improvements.  The goal is to gather ideas, foster collaboration, and inspire strategies that can be adapted to strengthen our own community's growth and future success.

“As a small business owner, the growth of Greenville and Pitt County is essential to my success. The InterCity Trip to Chattanooga, TN, was an incredible opportunity to see firsthand how a similar city has achieved impressive growth and created a vibrant community for both families and businesses. Just as important, it gave me a seat at the table to help shape the future of our own region. Moving forward, these trips are a must on my calendar, and I highly encourage anyone who wants to be part of Greenville’s growth story to join in.”
- Don Mekkes | Founder, The Growth Agency | Owner-Operator, QC Kinetix Greenville

"The Chamber’s InterCity Visit is a valuable tool that allows me to learn how other destinations market themselves, collaborate, and implement new projects. Throughout the trip, I have the opportunity to strengthen relationships with our own Chamber members while forming new ones during host destination sessions."
