Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce president/CEO's message

Dear Friends: The city of Manchester is vibrant and growing community as we are setting and achieving carefully constructed economic goals with the help of an engaged and caring business community. Whether you're an old friend, a new friend, or considering moving your business to greater Manchester, we hope you will visit us soon and see all that we have to offer. Manchester sits nestled on the Merrimack River offering a unique blend of history and economic development throughout the city, but most notably in our one of kind historic mill yard district. The Manchester mill yard preserves our historic past as an industrial center while providing economic opportunity for the future as it is home to hundreds of businesses both large and small. Our nearby downtown features amazing restaurants, shops, and several great entertainment venues including the Verizon Wireless Arena, Merchants Auto Stadium, and the Palace Theatre. Along with these great amenities Manchester features a quality of life that few communities can compete with. Manchester is geographically located an hour north of Boston and hour south of the White Mountains, and less than hour west of the seacoast. Manchester also is fortunate enough to be home to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, a favorite of business travelers, vacationers, and all visitors for its convenience, easy access, and superior customer services. Truly all you could want in Manchester is only a short drive away. If you have any questions about the city, region, or the GMCC's program of work, please contact us at 603-666-6600. We are working hard every day to support the progress of this already fabulous community. Sincerely,  Robin Comstock President and CEO Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce
