Lauren Jones, Massachusetts Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development, addresses a special joint meeting convened by the Chamber of the Manufacturing Council and the Talent Compact
WORKFORCE & TALENT: The Chamber convened a special joint meeting in September between our Manufacturing Council and North Central Massachusetts Talent Compact. Lauren Jones, Massachusetts Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development, shared key insights on the Healey administration’s workforce initiatives and led a discussion on addressing our region’s pressing labor challenges. This strategic dialogue advanced our ongoing efforts to strengthen North Central Massachusetts’ workforce development and enhance regional economic growth.
SOLAR INITIATIVE: Our Pleasant Street solar field, launched in August 2014, continues to deliver significant benefits to participating manufacturers.

This innovative program not only promotes sustainable energy practices but also contributes substantially to cost reduction for local businesses. As we celebrate a decade of operation, these figures underscore the long-term economic and environmental impact of our solar initiative.

GATEWAY SIGN INITIATIVE EXPANDS: Our commitment to strengthening regional identity continues with the recent addition of attractive welcome signs in Groton and Lancaster. These new installations complement our existing network of gateway signs in communities across North Central Massachusetts, including Fitchburg, Gardner, Hubbardston, Leominster, Lunenburg, Pepperell, Sterling, and Westminster. Beyond beautification, these signs serve as powerful symbols of community pride, enhance visitor navigation, and contribute to economic development by creating a more cohesive regional brand. We hope to sponsor additional signs for other member communities in North Central Massachusetts as funding becomes available.
Chamber staff showcase the new office furniture at our offices. Special thanks to AIS, Inc. for their donation of the new furniture.

This momentum has continued into FY2025, with early metrics showing an extraordinary 89% surge in visitors and a 60% increase in pageviews compared to the same period last year.

The Chamber has maintained an active presence in both federal and state-level advocacy throughout the latter months of 2024, hosting several key events and engaging on critical policy issues affecting our business community and the economic growth of the region.
Federal Engagement
The Chamber has strengthened its federal advocacy efforts this fall. Our annual Congressional Luncheon brought together Congressman Jim McGovern and Congresswoman Lori Trahan for a discussion on federal issues. Made possible through premier sponsor Fitchburg State University and supporting sponsor Care Central VNA & Hospice, Inc., the event provided members direct access to their federal representatives.
Further enhancing our federal presence, Chamber President Roy Nascimento represented our region at the prestigious Committee of 100 (CCC100) meeting in October. This select group, convened by the US Chamber of Commerce, comprises the nation’s 100 leading chamber executives. Nascimento’s participation enabled direct engagement with national business leaders, members of Congress, and chamber executives from across the country. His appointment to the CCC100 strengthens our ability to advocate for regional priorities while gaining early insights into federal policies affecting our business community.
Looking ahead to 2025, we are monitoring several critical federal issues that could significantly impact our local economy. These include the upcoming expiration of various provisions within the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, particularly changes to the R&D tax credit and the expiration of the pass-through deduction for small businesses. Additionally, potential new tariff policies under the new Trump administration warrant careful monitoring for their potential effects on our local economy.
Elections and Engagement
Maintaining our non-partisan stance, the Chamber served as an objective resource for both incumbent officials and candidates throughout the election cycle. While we do not endorse candidates, we actively facilitate dialogue between our elected representatives and candidates with the business community to ensure our region’s economic priorities are clearly communicated and understood.
Our Annual Legislative and Candidates Reception exemplified this approach. Thanks to the generous support of premier sponsor Mount Wachusett Community College and supporting sponsor Open Sky Community Services, the event provided a valuable forum for meaningful interaction between our legislative delegation, local officials, candidates, and business leaders.
Throughout the quarter, we also fostered engagement through individual meetings with officials and candidates, as well as focused discussions addressing specific concerns that our members had approached us about. The November election resulted in no changes to the North Central Massachusetts Legislative delegation, with incumbents maintaining their seats.
Ballot Question Advocacy
The Chamber actively engaged in advocacy regarding two significant ballot questions. With Question 2’s passage leaving Massachusetts without statewide graduation standards, we will advocate for thoughtful development of new standards that maintain educational excellence while ensuring student preparedness. We appreciate voters’ rejection of Question 5, recognizing its potential impact on our region’s hospitality sector. Special thanks to our legislative delegation members who opposed Question 5 and our member restaurants for their grassroots advocacy.
2025 Policy Agenda
The Chamber’s Board of Directors approved our Public Policy Agenda for 2025. Developed through stakeholder input and vetted by our Government Affairs Committee, this agenda will guide our advocacy efforts throughout the coming year.
The agenda focuses on six key priorities: economic competitiveness, small business, manufacturing, education, transportation, and real estate. While maintaining our longstanding positions on core issues, the 2025 agenda includes refined policy positions around plastics manufacturing, housing accessibility, and healthcare costs. These updates reflect the evolving needs of our business community while maintaining focus on long-term economic growth.
The complete agenda is available on our website.
State and Local Legislative Update
We recently provided testimony supporting the northern tier rail extension and submitted recommendations for the federally mandated Community Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). On Beacon Hill, we are monitoring the economic development bill and climate legislation during the closing days of informal session, which runs through December.
As Massachusetts operates on a two-year legislative cycle, any bills not passed by session’s end must be refiled in January when the new session begins. The Chamber will closely monitor new legislation affecting our business community as the process restarts in 2025.
For information about the Chamber’s public policy work, contact Public Affairs Manager Travis Condon at 978.353.7600, ext. 224, or .

El centro-norte de Massachusetts sigue creciendo como uno de los principales destinos de Nueva Inglaterra, con un gasto de los visitantes que alcanzó la impresionante cifra de $496.9 millones en el año civil 2023 —un aumento de 1.1% respecto a 2022 y un notable incremento de 19.7% en comparación con 2019—. Estos resultados provienen de un nuevo estudio de impacto económico dado a conocer recientemente por el estado. Nuestro próspero sector turístico ahora genera 4,300 empleos locales y produce $117.3 millones en ingresos directos, al tiempo que aporta $8.2 millones en recaudación tributaria local y $33 millones en impuestos estatales. El impacto de nuestro turismo se extiende más profundamente en la economía local a través del gasto indirecto, creando un poderoso efecto multiplicador. Cuando prosperan la hotelería local, los restaurantes y otros negocios de la economía turística local, estos a su vez invierten en diversos servicios y proveedores locales, lo que contribuye aún más al crecimiento económico de nuestra región.
Ampliando nuestro alcance y Alianzas Regionales y Participación Mediática
Hemos fortalecido nuestra colaboración de “Super Región” con dos consejos regionales de turismo vecinos (Discover Central MA y MetroWest Boston Visitors Bureau), lanzando una innovadora campaña de marketing fuera de temporada. A través de asociaciones con CM Communications, una agencia de relaciones públicas especializada con sede en Boston, hemos organizado viajes de prensa para escritores de viajes regionales y también hemos participado nuevamente en la Dream Destinations Travel Show el otoño pasado, posicionando nuestra región como un destino de visita obligada.
Presencia Digital e Interacción
Nuestro impacto en las redes sociales sigue creciendo. Desde el 1 de julio de 2024 hasta la primera semana de noviembre, nuestra página de Facebook «Visit North Central Massachusetts» tuvo un alcance total de 470 665, lo que representa un aumento del 24,2% con respecto al mismo período del año anterior. Nuestro canal de Facebook también atrajo a 6,000 nuevos seguidores. Además, la página registró 9,145 interacciones con el contenido y 8,767 clics en enlaces durante ese mismo período. En Instagram, la página alcanzó un alcance de 19,226 y ganamos 167 nuevos seguidores. También tuvimos 2,323 interacciones con el contenido y 259 clics en enlaces durante el mismo período. Desde el 1 de julio de 2024 hasta finales de octubre, VisitNorthCentral.com experimentó un crecimiento continuo con más de 58 500 visitantes, lo que representa un aumento del 89% respecto al mismo período del año anterior, y más de 93 700 visitas a la página, lo que supone un aumento del 60%.
Actualizaciones del Centro de Visitantes Johnny Appleseed
Gracias a la financiación de varios consejos culturales locales, pudimos organizar con éxito nuestra iniciativa “Saturday Showcase” (Escaparate de los Sábados) nuevamente durante los fines de semana de esta temporada otoñal en el Centro de Visitantes Johnny Appleseed. Estos populares eventos destacaron la cultura y las experiencias locales de la región a través de una atractiva combinación de actividades. Los visitantes disfrutaron de actuaciones musicales, encuentros con autores locales, pintura de rostros, demostraciones de arte y manualidades, e incluso visitas de alpacas de granjas locales, entre muchas otras experiencias memorables.
En el frente de infraestructura, hemos completado importantes mejoras en asociación con MassDOT para garantizar un servicio confiable durante todo el año en el centro. Las mejoras recientes incluyen la instalación de un nuevo horno y un generador para el edificio. Además, nos complace anunciar que pronto se instalarán varias estaciones de carga rápida para vehículos eléctricos en el centro como parte de una iniciativa nacional de infraestructura para expandir las estaciones de carga a lo largo de las principales autopistas. Esta adición nos ayudará a servir mejor al creciente número de viajeros con vehículos eléctricos en la Ruta 2.
Guía del Norte Central
La edición de Otoño/Invierno de Guía del centro-norte de Massachusetts fue publicado en septiembre y continúa teniendo una gran demanda. Esta publicación es una revista brillante a todo color que editamos para mostrar nuestra región a través de historias cautivadoras y excelentes imágenes. En colaboración con Sitka Creations, estamos trabajando actualmente en la edición Primavera/Verano 2025. Los miembros interesados en anunciarse deben contactar a la Cámara para reservar un anuncio.
Boletín por correo electrónico
Nuestro nuevo boletín electrónico trimestral, al que los visitantes se suscriben voluntariamente, ya llega a más de 3,200 suscriptores y mantiene una impresionante tasa de apertura de 44% y una tasa de clics de 8%, cifras que superan los estándares de la industria.
Marca y Publicidad
Lanzaremos dos emocionantes campañas turísticas para el centro-norte de Massachusetts, apoyadas por subvenciones de la Oficina de Turismo de Massachusetts y la celebración del 250 aniversario de Massachusetts. Estas iniciativas estratégicas, que se desarrollarán de enero a junio de 2025, mostrarán las atracciones únicas y la rica herencia de nuestra región a visitantes tanto de los estados cercanos como de toda la región.
Nuestra campaña de la Oficina de Viajes y Turismo de Massachusetts aprovecha un enfoque integrado que combina medios impresos y digitales dirigidos. El mensaje de la campaña continúa enfatizando la ubicación conveniente de nuestra región y el encanto auténtico de Nueva Inglaterra con lemas convincentes como “Todo lo que amas de Nueva Inglaterra… mucho más cerca de casa” y “Conduce hacia, no a través de, el centro-norte de Massachusetts”. Estos mensajes posicionan nuestra región como un destino que vale la pena explorar en lugar de simplemente atravesar.
Paralelamente, nuestra campaña del 250 aniversario de Massachusetts celebra el espíritu revolucionario y la transformación continua de nuestra región. A través de mensajes cuidadosamente elaborados como “North Central Massachusetts es Revolucionario” y “North Central Massachusetts: Una Región en Revolución”, destacaremos el papel significativo de nuestra área tanto en las revoluciones históricas como en las modernas. Desde nuestras contribuciones fundamentales a las revoluciones agrícola e industrial hasta el vibrante renacimiento económico y cultural de hoy en día, la campaña cuenta la historia de una región que continúa evolucionando mientras honra sus raíces históricas en la revolución agrícola e industrial.
Fotografía y contenido visual
Coordinamos una serie de sesiones fotográficas profesionales para capturar el carácter auténtico y la oferta vibrante del centro-norte de Massachusetts. Nuestras sesiones mostraron cuatro de las atracciones más emblemáticas de la región y catorce restaurantes locales distintivos, creando una rica biblioteca de imágenes convincentes. Estas nuevas imágenes retratan maravillosamente las experiencias únicas que esperan a los visitantes de nuestra región, desde monumentos históricos hasta destinos gastronómicos contemporáneos. La nueva fotografía mejorará nuestros esfuerzos de marketing en nuestro sitio web, canales de redes sociales, campañas de correo electrónico y materiales impresos, ayudándonos a contar la historia de nuestra región de una manera más atractiva y visualmente atractiva.
Siempre estamos deseosos de ampliar nuestras capacidades de narración visual. Si su negocio o atracción cuenta con fotos de alta calidad que capturan el espíritu del norte central de Massachusetts, nos encantaría presentarlas en nuestras iniciativas de marketing. Ya sean eventos de temporada, momentos detrás de escena o vistas impresionantes de su ubicación, compartir sus imágenes nos ayuda a mostrar la amplitud total de las experiencias que ofrece nuestra región. Por favor, póngase en contacto con la Cámara para obtener más información.
Nueva Oportunidad de Turismo Deportivo
Nos hemos asociado con Playeasy, una plataforma digital integral que conecta a los organizadores de eventos deportivos con lugares y negocios locales. Esta “ventanilla única” simplifica la planificación de eventos, desde la selección de sedes hasta las reservas de hoteles, al tiempo que promociona las instalaciones y atracciones de nuestra región entre organizadores de todo el país. La plataforma genera prospectos calificados para nuestros lugares y negocios miembros, creando nuevas oportunidades para ellos.
Te invitamos a unirte a nosotros en la promoción de las atracciones y experiencias únicas de nuestra región. ¡Mantente atento para más actualizaciones y oportunidades de participar!

Christmas is a time of magic, and for many, this year, the need is greater than ever. The Salvation Army, in partnership with our community, is committed to rescuing Christmas for those in need. We’ve been working on this holiday effort since August, and with your support, we can bring the joy of Christmas to children and families who desperately need it.
Last year, the Chamber of Commerce graciously took our Special Angels—children with special needs of all ages. When we visited these families this year, they shared the joy your generous donations brought to the children and adults in care facilities. It was heartwarming to witness, and we hope to bring that same joy again this year.
Here’s how you can help:
When you select an angel from the tree, know that the gift you choose will go directly to that child. Your kindness will make a real difference!
All gifts should be returned to the Chamber no later than December 10th to allow us time to pack and distribute them to the families and children in need.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to serving local families this holiday season. Your generosity is a blessing to many!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Envoy Lynnette Valentine at 978-342-3300 or 330-388-0451.
Together, we can make this Christmas brighter for so many families. Thank you for your heart and your help.
