VALLEY CITY, N.D. (VC Area Chamber) – The Valley City Area Chamber of Commerce will be moving to Central Avenue at the new location December 6. The offices will be located at 253 Central Avenue North, Suite 101, the former Sanford Eye Clinic space.

The move will allow the Chamber to better serve members of the Chamber and provide additional support for businesses and organizations. The Department of Motor Vehicle office based in Valley City will also be moving to the new location.

“With our membership growing and the need to provide more member-focused benefits, this move helps better align our location with the needs of our members,” said Executive Vice President, Kay Vinje.

The DMV and Chamber offices will be closed from Thursday, Dec. 1 to Monday, Dec.5 as the offices are moved and established. Staff members are still available via email during this time.

The DMV will reopen for business Tuesday, Dec. 6 and with new hours: 8:30-11:30 am and 12:30-4:30 pm.

A grand opening celebration will follow at a later date.

“Our Chamber exists to serve the membership and this move will help us do that more fully,” Chamber Board President Penny Wolla said. “As a business owner, I am excited to see the new things the Chamber is working on in regards to education, promotion and overall support for our business community. This is an exciting time for our Chamber.”

In addition to managing the DMV location for Valley City, the Chamber coordinates efforts including Chamber Bucks, Ambassador visits, Business After Hours, ribbon cutting events, the annual Chamber Celebration & Awards and other community events.

The following is a quote from Jennifer Feist, Director of Economic Development, who has been a co-resident with the Chamber in the Rosebud Visitor Center. “We will continue to collaborate with the Chamber of Commerce and identify specific ways in which our work can complement one another.  We will miss having Kay, Tracey and Amanda in the building and wish them the very best.”
