The Plainfield Area Chamber of Commerce is moving to a new, more central location on Lockport Street in downtown Plainfield. Right now, the chamber is located at 24047 Lockport St. Suite 109 and will move to 21409 W. Lockport St. The move is right down the road, but a necessary one. Executive Director of the Chamber, Tasha Kitson, explained that a move has been talked about for years. “They’ve talked numerous times about finding a building the Chamber can find to put their footprint on and purchase,” Kitson said. She added that the Chamber is “very, very excited” about the move. The new location has its front door directly on Lockport Street, which Kitson said “made a lot of sense.” She said that the move will be better in the long run, and it keeps the Chamber in downtown Plainfield, which is logical since the Chamber does many events downtown. Kitson added that a huge part of the Chamber is involvement in the community, and staying downtown allows them to stay a large part of Plainfield. The new location also features a closed boardroom, which Kitson said was needed since there are times when the Chamber needs a closed space to meet without outside distractions. 2015 has been a busy year for the Chamber, with an additional 651 new members added this year. Kitson said they’re “definitely looking forward to 2016.” The Chamber officially moves Dec. 11, and an open house and Chamber Network Night is already scheduled to take place at the new location Jan. 27, 2016 from 5 to 7 p.m. Chamber members and community members are encouraged to attend.
