BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — The Greater Palm Bay Chamber of Commerce will host their 2014 Installation Dinner and Awards Banquet on Friday, Feb. 21 at Palm Bay Hospital.

The annual Businesses of the Year, Distinguished Service and Platinum and Golden Palm winners will be announced that evening. In addition a short year in review video will be shown summarizing the many events and activities including ribbon cuttings for new businesses that the chamber and city officials participated in throughout the year.
“The annual Installation Dinner is well attended by the business and civic leaders in our community,” said Victoria Northrup.
