The Mountain Home Chamber of Commerce will be moving to a new temporary office location in Georgetown Square. The decision came Friday during a meeting of the Chamber Board of Directors. The Board voted unanimously to move the office to Georgetown Square #59 with the assistance of office space by local businessmen Bob Wedgeworth and Jack Gregory.
Because of structural issues and other immediate needs of renovation of the current Chamber building, the move was made sooner than expected. Although this move is temporary, Chamber leaders, staff and volunteers are currently exploring all permanent location options.
Earlier KTLO, Classic Hits and The Boot reported the Mountain Home Chamber of Commerce office is closed temporarily and is searching for a new location as the board and its director wrestle with identifying its future home.
President and chief executive officer Jeff Pipkin says while the Chamber’s current location has infrastructure issues, the temporary closure was forced upon them with an infestation of skunks. Pipkin said out of a concern to both visitors and the employees, the decision was made to temporarily close the office.
Following Friday’s meeting, Board President Scott Copeland says all community residents are encouraged to stop by and visit the new location in Georgetown Square. He says with the busy tourism season in full swing, the Chamber is ready to assist all visitors and potential retirees with sharing the message of “our incredible community.” A groundswell of activity is underway to ensure those new to the area are able to find the new office location.
For more information, contact Pipkin at the same number the Chamber has been using, 870-425-5111.
