Gulf United Metro Business Organization (GUMBO) is a coalition of local business leaders, chambers of commerce, convention and visitors bureaus and tourism/travel organizations who are committed to the intelligent growth and development of south Baldwin County, Alabama. Our mission is to foster better communication between area business leaders and government officials at the local, state and federal levels to enhance the growth and sustainability of south Baldwin County and provide economic opportunity for our citizens. GUMBO is patterned after a similar group in Myrtle Beach, SC that has been in existence for more than 20 years and has had similar success in focusing policy makers on the infrastructure needs of that community.
