PACT was formed by the merger of the Centerville Chamber of Commerce, the Appanoose Economic Development Corporation, and Main Street Centerville in January of 2021. The purpose of the organization is to be an action-oriented, volunteer organization of individuals and businesses working together to facilitate the retention, expansion, attraction and creation of businesses and jobs to downtown Centerville and throughout Appanoose County and to promote and preserve the community assets and a positive business climate.

We focus on five primary efforts: Tourism, Economic Development, Housing, Chamber of Commerce and Main Street.
