Project description: Branson chamber officials say they are developing a new face of the business community. The welcome center and office underway is designed to hold over 50 employees, along with four conference rooms, a 125-person multipurpose room and a board room, said Jeff Seifried, president and CEO of the 900-member chamber. The entrance design features large windows accented by weathered steel that aesthetically ages over time, he said. The chamber plans a spring move from 269 State Highway 248, which Seifried said is unable to accommodate many business meetings.
