The Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce plans to celebrate its reopening in an historic downtown storefront in two weeks with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
More than just a new office, Chamber officials say, the move to 29 Washington St. in the center of the Washington Street Shoe District, represents “a renewed commitment to accessibility, collaboration and community engagement.” They explain the new headquarters was designed as a hub where businesses, organizations and residents can connect, collaborate and grow together through meetings, pop-up vendor events, workshops and community programming.
“This reopening is about far more than a physical space—it’s about creating a stronger sense of connection and opportunity throughout Greater Haverhill,” says Nomsa Ncube, chair of the Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce. “We want every community, every entrepreneur and every resident to feel welcomed and empowered through the Chamber. Our new home is a place where ideas, partnerships and community growth can thrive together.”
As WHAV first reported last December, the Chamber is moving from Harbor Place on Merrimack Street to a storied Washington Street storefront. Most buildings were built following the Great Fire of 1882, Besides the ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday, June 3, starting with An open house at 5 p.m. and ribbon cutting at 5:30, the Chamber plans to offer light refreshments, networking opportunities and an after-party celebration nearby at The Hill, formerly G’s.
