The Chamber office is on the move! After 14 years in its current location at the rear of the Times Square building on Carlisle Street, the Chamber office will be moving to 1380 Biglerville Road in Gettysburg when our lease expires at the end of the year. The representatives from Times Square Partnership have been terrific over the years. They have worked with us during our most challenging financial times. The board and staff extend much gratitude for their support of the Chamber. When the Chamber first moved to 18 Carlisle Street, we did so because we needed additional space for staff. However, as many of you experienced change over the years, so did the Chamber. Programs have been changed, committees have been consolidated, and staff job duties have been shifted to allow for greater efficiency. In addition, a greater presence on the Web and more electronic communications with our members has resulted in a drop in lobby traffic over the years. We no longer need all the office space we have. So, with that in mind, we are moving into office space that will better suit our needs. A partnership opportunity presented itself earlier this year that is a great fit for the Chamber. Adams Electric Cooperative has excess space at its Gettysburg District office. By leasing almost half of that building, the Chamber will save money. The new space will comfortably house our current staff with space left over to expand down the road, if needed. There will also be a small conference room that will allow us to continue holding committee meetings and “Lunch and Learn” programs, and a bonus of free parking! While reviewing our office space options, one of the main priorities was that we save money. By partnering with Adams Electric and sharing a building, the savings will be significant. The other priority was adequate space for staff to function efficiently in order to continue providing the top notch service that you have come to expect. Many of you will note this location is not in the Borough of Gettysburg. As a Chamber that represents all of Adams County, the location should provide easy access for more of our members, and be more centrally located in the county. We will remain in the greater Gettysburg area, and only a few miles from downtown. We look forward to the change and hope that you will be patient with us in the coming months as we prepare to move our office. As always, please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
