Chamber Changes

The Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce has approved an exterior remodeling project for its headquarters at 24 Beach street in Vineyard Haven. The plan calls for the installation of new siding, windows and a roof, plus a public access area featuring reception space, display units and digital information screens modeled after traditional visitors’ centers.

The project is expected to begin shortly, and should be completed by the start of the season.

“At the conclusion of this project, the Chamber building will have a historic esthetic that will not only be in sync with this historic Island, but will also be attractive and welcoming to visitors and members alike,” said Michael Hoyt, Chamber board president. “Islanders will be proud to have this space as their year-round visitor center.”

Adam Hayes has been selected as the contractor for the renovation. “Mr. Hayes has been in business on Martha’s Vineyard for more than 20 years, and we’re looking forward to working with him,” said Paul Watts, chair of the Chamber’s building committee.
