(Phoenixville, PA — March 28, 2024) — The Phoenixville Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce its forthcoming new headquarters, marking a significant milestone in the chamber’s history. This state-of-the-art facility will stand as a beacon of economic development and community empowerment, reflecting our commitment to innovation and progress.
Since acquiring our former space on Bridge Street in the late 1970s, the Chamber has not witnessed growth in their space of this magnitude. The new headquarters, located at 710 Main Street, will serve as a central hub for chamber activities, boasting modern amenities, collaborative workspaces, and advanced technology to foster innovation and connectivity among our esteemed members.
With a design aimed at enhancing functionality and promoting collaboration, our new offices are slated to open within the year. This transformative project has been made possible through a significant grant from the Phoenixville Area Economic Development Corporation (PAEDCO), underscoring their dedication to supporting initiatives that benefit our community. Additionally, the sale of the Chamber’s property on Bridge Street has provided crucial funding without incurring any debt to the organization, enabling the Chamber to double its square footage and execute the necessary renovations to restore the building to its full potential.
Chamber President & CEO, Jessica Capistrant shared, “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to PAEDCO for their investment in our future, as well as to our dedicated building committee members, realtor Joe McArdle, and architects Tom and Lauren at Carnevale Eustis. Special recognition also to Frank Giardina, the 2022-2023 Chairman of the Board, whose visionary leadership identified the need for a new headquarters. With the collective efforts of the committee (names below) and our available resources, this vision has become a reality.”
Building Committee leadership noted, “More than just a physical space, our new headquarters will serve as a catalyst for innovation and growth. It will be a place where ideas flourish, partnerships thrive, and aspirations are realized. Equipped with enhanced capabilities, we are poised to better serve our members and drive economic prosperity within our community.”
The Phoenixville Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to promoting economic growth and fostering a vibrant business community in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. With a focus on collaboration, innovation, and advocacy, the Chamber strives to create opportunities for businesses of all sizes to thrive and succeed.
