Frequently Asked Questions
Why are you
moving?
Through the ongoing
strategic planning process, one of the Board’s challenges has been to determine
the best location for Chamber offices. Coincidentally, our current lease was
expiring and new office space was required. Our new space had to be affordable,
in a location easily accessible to you and, most importantly one that would
maximize your connections, ensuring that the Chamber continues to be a place
where business happens.
Why leave
downtown Downers Grove?
The Chamber search
team considered several downtown locations, but all the available spaces were
far more expensive than the offer from Hamilton Partners. Also, when we
analyzed the locations of our Member businesses, almost 80% of them were located
on Ogden Ave. or north of it. The Chamber will continue to serve on the Board
for the Downtown Management Corporation and be closely in touch with the unique
needs of the downtown area.
What advantages
are there at the new space?
This new location
will offer a multitude of opportunities for those we serve. It will put our
Members in touch with a new group of businesses that they may not otherwise
encounter. It is easily accessible with ample parking. The new space will
continue to be a place where business happens.
How can I help?
The Chamber is
seeking assistance with the build out including construction, office furniture,
carpet, paint, moving and more. If you would like to be a part of this exciting
venture, please contact Laura Crawford at
