The Ambridge Area Chamber of Commerce has more recently undergone some of its biggest changes in its history. The chamber is now run by the youngest chamber director ever in the United States, Jeremy G. Angus.
The Chamber has also undergone a major change in location. The organization has just moved into an old shopper’s rest area along the Merchant Street corridor. The building location was in a dilapidated state for the community when, some three years ago, the AACC was given the okay by the Ambridge Borough to completely renovate this space for new chamber offices and an Ambridge police substation. Over the last three years the organization has put over $120,000 into the new space.
The Ambridge Area Chamber of Commerce continues to develop and progress into a highly successful and strong organization in the community. The Ambridge Area Chamber of Commerce truly hopes to continue to have the opportunity to reach out the town of Ambridge, one with a “Proud Past, Bright Future”, into the surrounding Pittsburgh areas.
The Ambridge Area Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to not only the development and progression of this great community, but is also proud to represent hundreds of businesses in the local 8 communities they represent. The Ambridge Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to represent: Ambridge, Baden, Bell Acres, Economy, Fair Oaks, Harmony Township, Leet Township and Leetsdale. All of these communities and their businesses are important to the Ambridge Chamber. The AACC welcomes all businesses to stop by and to see what new opportunities this organization can offer your company today.
