New Location, More Traffic!

When the Chamber moved to 33 Main Street in Belfast from our 14 Main Street location, we anticipated more foot traffic! And the data is proving it! We have welcomed 44% more people to the new Chamber office than in the previous location.  How does this affect our members?  More people are hearing and reading about your business and our volunteers are doing a stellar job this summer.  Your Chamber working for you!
