In need of a new home, the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce looked to its board of directors for guidance.
With a realtor, a representative of Major Health Partners, a general contractor and an interior designer all closely associated with the chamber, that new home at 157 W. Washington St. came to fruition.
“It all just came together and worked out really well,” said Shelby County Chamber of Commerce board president Stephanie Amos after Thursday’s Open House and ribbon cutting ceremony. “I think the facility is amazing.”
Formerly the blood draw center for Major Hospital, the building which sat across from the former hospital site was unoccupied after Major Health Partners moved the hospital to Intelliplex Park. The chamber was able to purchase the building and renovate it to its current state.
“Being a medical facility, it was patient rooms with sinks in them and a bed,” said Amos. “We had to gut that and make it into offices. We did put some windows up front because it needed more natural light. There is still some landscaping we want to do but I think it’s going to be a great facility for us long term.”
The chamber was formerly located at the Porter Visitors’ Center just north of downtown. Now, it sits west of downtown not far from City Hall.
“I think it’s a great location. It’s close to downtown,” said Amos. “We were able to get an interior grant from Mainstreet Shelbyville to help us with the cost of the interior. This has been a good partnership with multiple partners in the community.”
