The chamber office will be closed and operating remotely this Friday, March 28, 2025 as we continue the process of our building renovation. As you know, the Chamber building on Main Street, Middletown has been key to serving our members and staff for decades. It is, however, in need of significant improvements to ensure we can operate efficiently and continue the good work of the Chamber for years to come. Last year, thanks to the great support of Senator Matt Lesser and Governor Ned Lamont, the chamber was awarded an incredible $3.285 million in support of building renovations which will allow us to install energy-efficient windows throughout the building, remodel the main floor offices, and much more. We will have much more on renovation details as the project progresses. I would like to once again give a huge thank you to our building committee for their dedication and support of this renovation and the chamber as a whole.

The Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce is proud to host our bi-annual Job Fair on Wednesday, April 9 at the Courtyard by Marriot Hartford Cromwell from 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Employers: If you're searching for local, qualified job candidates, then this is the job fair for you!

A special thank you to the Connecticut Department of Labor and Workforce Alliance for their continued support of this event, and so many Middlesex Chamber programs!
