Who We Are

The Charleston Area Alliance is your connection to the Kanawha Valley. 

The Charleston Area Alliance is a unique organization, bringing Kanawha County’s community and economic development and traditional chamber of commerce offerings under one roof. 

We are built on the legacy of three organizations that came together in 2004 to bolster economic opportunity and community enhancement. They include Business & Industrial Development Corporation (BIDCO), Kanawha County’s economic development organization, Charleston Renaissance Corporation, the downtown and neighborhood development organization, and the Charleston Regional Chamber of Commerce, West Virginia’s largest regional chamber of commerce.
