chamberThe city has allowed the North Bay and District Chamber of Commerce to end their lease agreement with their current building on Seymour Street, to move into a downtown location.

Chamber President Jake Lacourse says it came down to getting better value for their Chamber members.

Lacourse says they have a conditional lease agreement with an office building on Main and Wyld, and they are hoping to hold a grand opening in mid-October.

Mayor Al McDonald says this is the right move for the Chamber of Commerce.

McDonald adds the city will most likely deem that area as surplus land and put it up for sale.

The Chamber is currently located at 1375 Seymour Street.
