Every day, the Chamber works to help businesses grow and thrive. And one of the things we love most is when we get to help those organizations commemorate significant achievements – grand openings, anniversaries, new facilities and more.

May saw the celebration of new openings and milestones for multiple Springfield-area organizations, including some very special anniversaries. Check out all the businesses that the Chamber recognized last month!
