We’re excited to share a major milestone in the future of our Chamber! Our building will soon undergo a full-scale renovation to better serve our members and the community!!

Here’s what you need to know:
• The Chamber office will be closed the week of July 21–25 as our staff packs and moves.
• Starting the week of July 28, we’ll be operating out of a temporary location at 318 High Street, (a Wesleyan University building) in Middletown
• We expect to be based at 318 High Street for approximately one year while construction is underway.

We are deeply grateful to Wesleyan University for their generous support in making this temporary move possible. Their partnership and willingness to work with us has been instrumental in ensuring we can continue to serve our members without interruption.

This renovation marks an exciting chapter for the Chamber. The improvements to our building will help us better accommodate events, meetings, and member services, and ensure we remain a strong, central hub for our business community for years to come.

A special shoutout to our Chamber Building Committee: Scotty Brown, Harry Burr, Dominick DeMartino, Brian Kronenberger, TIm Myjak, Paul Pizzo, Jay Polke, and Maureen Westbrook for their invaluable guidance and support throughout this process. This transformation wouldn’t have been possible without your dedication and expertise—thank you!

We appreciate your patience and continued support during this transition. We’ll continue to serve you with the same commitment and energy from our temporary location—and we look forward to welcoming you into a beautifully renovated space in 2026!

🎉 You’re Invited to the Chamber Demolition Party! 🏗️✨

Join us as we begin celebrating big changes at the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce!

Join us on Wednesday, August 6 from 4-6pm for a Demolition Party as we officially break ground on a new era for our historic building at 393 Main Street. Our beloved 1915 building is getting a top-to-bottom transformation.

After decades of serving the business community, the space was due for serious updates—from accessibility and energy efficiency to preserving its architectural charm. This grant was awarded in recognition of the Chamber’s vital role in economic development and community leadership, and it will allow us to modernize our headquarters while staying rooted in the heart of Middletown.
