Greetings!
Spring Greetings!
Thank you to those who came out to the Breakfast Networking event on April 7th.  It was a very informative discussion and several businesses were able to make connections and get informed about the impact of the Arlington Budget on local businesses.  Special thanks to Brian Sullivan, Town Manager; Carol Kowalski, Town Planner, and State Representative Sean Garballay for heading our panel discussion.

There are several events coming up including a multi-chamber event and the chamber board is growing (see details under Announcements and Events). 

We look forward to seeing you at our next chamber event and remember to

Construction on I-93 Begins March 14, Into Summer

This summer, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) will replace 14 deteriorated bridge superstructures on Interstate 93 in the city of Medford, MA. The superstructure replacements that are the core of the 93 Fast 14 project will take place on weekends in June, July and August (except for the 4th of July). This plan avoids impacting weekday rush-hour traffic. Beginning Monday, March 14th, work crews will begin construction activities. MassDOT will post project updates, including overnight lane restrictions that are scheduled for next week at www.93fast14.com.
