Chamber Offices Interior Renovation Updates

 

The CVB moved back into their offices yesterday and the Builders Exchange is up and running again.  Today we will see the installation of the carpet around the Walk of Pride tiles and by the end of the week the lobby should be put back together.

 

Just a reminder that the Walk of Pride tiles in the front lobby will remain and only the carpet on the perimeter is being replaced.  In fact, if there are any businesses who would like their name added to the floor, please contact Ken Warner at [email protected].  It will take a minimum of at least 10 businesses to make it cost effective to do so.

 

Thank you for your patience as we have been going through this renovation process.  Feel free to stop by and see the new look!
