BELFAST — The Belfast Area Chamber is growing, and will be moving to a larger office space just up the street at 33 Main Street, in Belfast.

“Thanks to the incredible support of our valued members, we’ve outgrown our current space, and our new, 1,100 square-foot office will provide a more spacious and comfortable environment for visitors and the Chamber’s staff, volunteers and members,” said the Chamber, in a news release. “With two full-time employees, twenty volunteers, a high school intern and upwards of 80 visitors per day in the summer, our office at 14 Main is often overcrowded. Plus, as our membership base continues to grow, we may need room for an additional part-time person to help with marketing and administrative needs.”

The new, larger space will allow the Chamber to introduce networking opportunities and access to more business services.

“We anticipate more foot traffic at our new location and look forward to promoting our members, the City of Belfast, and our whole region, to an even bigger audience,” said the release.

The Chamber has been packing and moving the office and Information Center already and will officially be in the new space by March 1.

“We’re working diligently to ensure a seamless transition. During this period, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we move and get settled into our new location,” said the Chamber. “We sincerely thank our landlords, John Holmes and Jerri Finch, for their unwavering support of the Chamber over the years. John’s ready smile and seemingly endless supply of amusing stories have made it easy for us to be his tenants.”

The new landlord, Karen Miles, former owner/operator of Wanderbird Expedition Cruises, has taken this time between tenants to update and renovate the space at 33 Main St.

“She’s kindly consulted us on many details of the upgrades and for that, we’re grateful,” said the release.
