Welcome! Whether you are drawn to the Fall River metro region as a business owner, employee,
tourist, resident, or as an investor, we have what you need to succeed. Examples include significant
transportation and infrastructure upgrades, a workforce supported by outstanding education partners
and several expedited permitting districts such as the largest pre-permitted 43D District in
Massachusetts. All of these assets are supported by a favorable business climate. It is no wonder that
people are praising the City of Fall River and the many traditional villages and towns that comprise the
SouthCoast region as a Southern New England hot spot for starting, locating or growing a business.

Important economic, community and business support services are also compiled for your benefit. A

A reduction in the commercial property tax shift is meaningful relief
to businesses, who would be paying significantly higher taxes but
for the advocacy of the Chamber.

Commerce & Industry
The American Industrial Revolution took root in Southern New
England because of an abundant mix of recourses. By 1920, Fall
River’s 100 mills supported a population of 130000 people. Many
of these individuals were of Portuguese, French Canadian or Irish
immigrant origins. Each of the groups brought with them a very
strong work ethic as they sought to elevate their economic status.
As the region developed, Fall River became recognized as the
“Spindle City” that led in manufacturing, health care, culture and
vocational education.
Led by private, government and education partners a collaborative
effort has been underway since the 1990’s to redesign the 1960’s
infrastructure and renovate area assets in order to cultivate
existing and emerging industries. The goal is development of a
diversified economy built on niche manufacturing, green
technology, life sciences, transportation, distribution, professional
services and a creative economy. Diversification of the local
economy is the key to sustainable growth and employment.
The renaissance of Fall River and the neighboring towns is clearly
observable. Significant transportation projects are either underway
or have been completed. The Veterans Memorial Bridge project,
which replaced the Brightman Street Bridge, was completed in
2011. It serves as the primary connection point for both Fall River
and Somerset. The Veterans Memorial Bridge also directs
commuter traffic northward to Boston as it interconnects with the
northern section of Route 79.
The opening of the Veterans Memorial Bridge compliments the
completed Route 24 exit 8B project. That $50 million
infrastructure investment created direct highway access to the
newly established SouthCoast Life Sciences and Technology Park
in Fall River. This is where Mass Biologics is now located. Mass
Biologics and the state’s largest solar farm will soon be neighbors
to the 1 million square foot Amazon.com distribution center.
The removal of the 1960’s spaghetti ramps system has been a long
sought after economic objective by local businesses. As time
passed, the twelve bridges within the interchange system aged and
deteriorated to a point where they became structurally deficient
and in need of serious rehabilitation. An opportunity to correct
past mistakes had arisen.
Replacement of the spaghetti ramps with a waterfront boulevard
that connects Route 79 to Route 24 is a critical step toward Fall
River’s economic sustainability. Upon completion this project
directs motorist through Fall River’s waterfront attractions while
also opening up approximately nine acres of land for commercial

Shipbuilding, located along the Somerset side of the waterway,
was established in 1955 as a builder of tugs and fishing vessels.
Gladding-Hearn has expanded to become one of the shipping
industry’s leaders in the construction of fast ferries and pilot
boats.
Made in Fall River
development along the scenic Taunton River. The new boulevard
also adds to the quality of life for area residents by providing an
enhanced multipurpose waterfront walking and biking pathway
which passes Commonwealth Landing, Battleship Cove and
several marinas.
Most of the Route 79 Interchange project is slated for completion
in 2016. An unobstructed view of the waterfront from areas of
downtown Fall River is noteworthy recent benefit. From upper
Pocasset Street across from Government Center you can clearly
see the “Gates of the City,” the Battleship Massachusetts and
vessels navigating the Taunton River. The $200 million Route 79
project is significant, but it is only one of several important
infrastructure investments to Fall River.
The old railway lines running along the waterfront are also active
once again. Commercial freight moved by Mass Coastal Rail is
brought in and carried away daily. The commercial rail infrastructure
is currently being upgraded and expanded for higher speeds.
These investments (made with both private and public funds) lay
the foundation for tourism and commuter rail services to Fall River.
High speed ferry service from Fall River to Newport and Block
Island is another feature available at the Stateline Pier facility in
Fall River. Industry is also using the deep water Taunton River for
niche short sea shipping operations at the Stateline Pier facility. An
additional opportunity during the summer months of 2015 will be
visitations by passengers on cruise vessels serviced by American
Cruise Lines as part of a scenic New England cities voyage.
There are many other commercial enterprises along both the Fall
River and Somerset sides of the Taunton River. Gladding-Hearn
FALLRIVERCHAMBER . C O M
As businesses and government are investing in the
infrastructure of the Fall River area, new jobs are being created
through a resurgence in niche manufacturing. Many older
manufacturers are adapting and finding inventive ways to
compete and grow. This is particularly evident with the rise of
local niche manufacturing of high end products that cannot be
replicated by cheap and unskilled labor from abroad.
In both the 500 acre Fall River Industrial Park and the 160 acre
Commerce Park, over 70 businesses employ approximately 6000
men and women. Products ranging from medical sutures to solid
state lighting fixtures are designed and manufactured by such
prominent international and domestic firms as Lightolier – Phillips,
Blount Fine Foods, Millstone Medical, H&S Tool and Engineering,
Rex-Cut Products, Inc. and John Matouk and Company.
New to the Fall River area is the long awaited 300 acre Life
Sciences and Technology Park. Drug development and
manufacturing for clinical trials play a critical role in the
advancement of new medical treatments. The 300 acre “Biopark”
has been express zoned as the Commonwealth’s largest 43D
district that accommodates biotech manufacturing, medical device
manufacturing, life science, IT and other industries. Abutting
Route 24, building sites are adjacent to all existing utilities and it
can accommodate water usage of 1.5 to 2.0 million gallons per
day. MassBiologics - SouthCoast facility in public-private
partnership with the University of Massachusetts is the park’s first
operating tenant. Amazon.com is currently planning the
construction of a 1 million-square-foot, large-item fulfillment
center to be located on a 90-acre site in the biopark. The proposed
project is anticipated to create 500 or more area jobs.
Supportive Business Climate and Workforce
Sustainable economic development cannot exist without the
participation of the business community. A key partner in Fall
River’s business development efforts is the Fall River Office of
Economic Development (FROED). FROED was established in
F A L L R I V E R A R E A C H A M B E R O F C O M M E R C E & I N D U STRY 2016 • 11
economy
1978 as the city’s one-stop shop for economic development with
the very clear objectives of creating new jobs, retain existing jobs,
and assist local businesses in their efforts to grow. FROED offers
an array of incentives to startup, expanding and relocating
businesses, including low-interest financing, tax exemptions and
connection with employee recruitment and training services as
well as site selection assistance. FROED also provides technical
support for permitting, infrastructure, licensing and various other
business needs. These programs can be packaged with other
private and public sector incentives. All FROED services are
offered free of charge.
FROED and local government incentives serve as a complement
to Fall River’s favorable business climate that is demonstrated
through a newly revised business friendly zoning system.
Streamline permitting, preferential business districts, lower
business costs and a unique collection of business advantages and
natural resources make Fall River an ideal city for businesses to
expand or locate. Real estate, including raw land and existing
space, is inexpensive when compared with other parts of
Massachusetts. The city’s tax, water and sewer rates are also
among the lowest in the state. Electric and gas costs are
competitively priced with neighboring Rhode Island and
Connecticut and our state-of-the-art multi-communication
network meets the highest technological standards.
The common thread to Fall River and the SouthCoast region are
the amazing people who live here. As the tenth largest city in
Massachusetts, Fall River boasts a diversified workforce. The
majority are between the ages of 25 and 44. The city’s men and
women are productive and highly motivated. Business training
and educational programs are also readily available through a
superb higher educational network. Bristol Community College
and UMass – Dartmouth, along with Bridgewater State University,
Fisher College and other educational institutions are working in
partnership with the quasi-government groups such as the Bristol
County Workforce Investment Board to assist in preparing and
educating the current and future workforce to meet existing and
future employment needs.

Explore the
Fall River Area
The secret is out. The Fall River area offers a wide selection of
attractions, beaches, vineyards, wholesale and artisan outlets and
sporting venues. The best part is that they are all easily
accessible. Whether it is a day trip on the USS Massachusetts or a
night in the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast, the Fall River area
is a sure bet if you are seeking great cuisine, history, nature or
cultural activities.
A must see is the World famous Battleship Cove. Battleship Cove
is home to the USS Battleship Massachusetts (BB-59). Each year
hundreds of thousands of visitors are drawn to the largest
collection of retired naval warfare vessels. This truly unique
floating museum provides visitors with amazing hands on access
to the USS Battleship Massachusetts, the attack submarine USS
Lionfish, the destroyer, USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., two P.T. boats
and a Soviet era Russian missile boat.
Only a short walk from Battleship Cove is the Marine Museum.
Housed in the museum is an extensive collection of model ships
and memorabilia from the golden era of the great ships and luxury
steam liners that frequented Fall River during the height of the
American textile industry. There is even a one ton model of the
Titanic on display. The Fall River Railroad Museum is another
attraction, which is across the street from Battleship Cove.
Also located at the door front of Battleship Cove is the Fall River
Carousel. Incredibly restored to the splendor of its first days of use
at the historic Lincoln Park, this century old Philadelphia
Toboggan Company Carousel #54 is fully operational. A little
known fact is that the Fall River Carousel is the oldest functioning
carousel of its kind in the United States.
Looking for a genuine haunted experience? The Lizzie Borden
B&B/Museum has been cited by CNN Travel, Huffington Post
and MSNBC as the place to go! You know the story. On August 4,
1892 a wealthy businessman and his wife were found brutally
murdered in their Victorian home in Fall River, Massachusetts.
The accused murderer was their youngest daughter, Lizzie, who
tourism
was found not guilty. Stay at the beautifully restored Greekrevival home of the Borden family. It is now a first-class bed &
breakfast with a catch. People swear that the home is haunted.
If sleeping in a haunted house is not your thing then maybe it’s
time to enjoy a day at the beach. Spread across nearly 600 acres of
barrier beach and salt marsh, Horseneck Beach is one of the most
popular recreational facilities in the Massachusetts State Forests
and Parks system. Located at the western end of Buzzards Bay,
the sandy, southwest-facing, 2-mile long beach is breezy all year
round, providing excellent wind surfing and a dependable respite
from sweltering inland temperatures. The combination of ocean
beach and estuary habitat also makes Horseneck one of the
premier birding locations in New England. Behind the dunes near
Gooseberry Neck (a rocky headland at the eastern end of the
Reservation), is a 100-site campground. The 13,600 acres
Southeastern Massachusetts Bioreserve is another amazing place
within Fall River, Lakeville and Dartmouth where residents can
hike, cross country ski and mountain bike. There are also
designated areas for horseback riding and dirt bikes.
Then again, there is always the mill outlets. Fall River is still a
mecca for those who love factory-outlet shopping. What can you
find? When it comes to clothing, everything! Shoes, sweaters,
raincoats, accessories, designer labels, coats, handbags, jewelry,
children’s clothing, cosmetics, luggage. Branch out a bit and
you’ll find kitchenware, gifts, furniture, braided rugs, curtains,
crystal, candy and nuts, greeting cards and giftwrap, toys, towels,
linens, baskets, brass—even wallpaper. End the day at one of the
many great area restaurants
Needless to say there is a lot to see and do in the Fall River area.
Detailed information about the many area attractions and activities
is always available in the Visitor and Information Center located
within the Chamber’s front lobby area. A preview of available options
is listed in the pages that follow. Explore and enjoy Fall River.
Other noteworthy day trips include the Narrows Center for the
Arts, Fall River Heritage State Park along the Fall River
Waterfront, the expansive river walk and the Fall River Historical
Society. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a challenging 18-hole course
at the Fall River Country Club with great views of the Taunton
River and Mount Hope Bay. Several other excellent courses are
nearby in Swansea, Seekonk and Dartmouth. Professional sports
fans can also enjoy a Pawtucket Red Sox game at McCoy Stadium.

About the Fall River Area
Fall River: The Spindle City
Fall River was originally called “Quequechan,” which meant
“falling water” by the Wampanoag Indians. The Wampanoag’s
named the area for the small river that turned into steep falls before
flowing into the Taunton River. Quequechan was the ancestral
home of the Wampanoag Indians until King Phillip’s War in 1675.
An abundant water supply along with access to the Taunton River
made “falling river” a great place to settle during the colonial
period prior to the Revolutionary War. Ultimately the Quequechan
River attracted thousands of people from all over the world. These
people provided Fall River with a diversity of character held
together by cohesion built on local pride that characterizes the
spirit behind Fall River’s resurgence as America’s “Spindle City.”
The mills of Fall River had built their business largely around one
product, which was print cloth. World War I sustained the print
cloth industry a little longer. Many of the mills in New England
benefited during this time, but the post-war economy quickly slowed.
Also hurting the industry was that production had finally outpaced
world demand. By 1920, Fall River’s mills were now facing serious
competition from their southern counterparts as labor was cheaper
in the resurgent South. The South also had the benefit of transportation
and machinery investments from the North. As production moved to
Tennessee and other southern states, the mills in Fall River began
to consolidate, or close. Many low skill jobs were lost in the process.
Manufacturing is not new in Fall River. While no one city can lay
claim to being the birth of American manufacturing, Fall River was
a key contributor to the origins and success of the American Industrial
Revolution. Driving Fall River’s early growth was a booming
manufacturing industry founded on print clothe production.
Construction of the Durfee Mill heralded the beginning of tremendous
growth and prosperity. By 1850 the railroad connected Fall River
to Boston and New York resulting in people seeking opportunity to
pour into the area in vast numbers. Fall River’s population swelled

become occupied by several smaller companies. Taking advantage
of cheap mill space and an eager workforce was the garment
industry of New York. The New York garment industry established
itself into Fall River during the period immediately after World
War II. An economic resurgence followed. By the mid 1940’s,
nearly one-fifth of the city’s workforce was employed within the
garment industry.
Veterans Memorial Bridge project, which replaced the Brightman
Street Bridge, was completed in 2011. It serves as the primary
connection point for both Fall River and Somerset. The Veterans
Memorial Bridge also directs commuter traffic northward to

economic challenges were several devastating mill fires.
Now you know why.
Ironically, it was from the ashes of the devastating fire at the
former Kerr Mill Complex that Fall River’s economic resurgence
as a modern “Spindle City” had its genesis. The Kerr Mill site has
been redeveloped into the Advanced Technology & Manufacturing
Center (ATMC) of UMass-Dartmouth. The $14 million ATMC,
financed by the Massachusetts Development Agency, marked Fall
River’s entrance into a diversified economic strategy.
Our Mission

Having learned from the past, private, government and education
partners are engaged in a collaborative effort underway since the
1990’s to diversify the economy, redesign and upgrade the 1960’s
infrastructure and renovate area assets in order to cultivate existing
and emerging industries. The goal is to build a robust diversified
economy built on niche manufacturing, green technology, life
sciences, transportation, distribution, professional services and a
creative economy.
Replacement of the Route 79 spaghetti ramps with a waterfront
boulevard that connects Route 79 to Route 24 has been a critical
step toward Fall River’s economic resurgence. This $200 million
project directs motorist through Fall River’s waterfront attractions
while also opening up approximately nine acres of land for
commercial development along the scenic Taunton River. The new
boulevard also adds to the quality of life for area residents by
providing an enhanced multipurpose waterfront walking and biking
pathway which passes Commonwealth Landing, Battleship Cove
and several marinas.

While the urban landscape of Fall River has many notable features,
one cannot help but be impressed by the dozens of steeples and
cathedral spires that grace the city skyline from almost any point of
entry into the city. Consistent with the diverse cultural backgrounds
of the workers, merchants and mill owners who settled throughout
the Fall River area during the nineteenth century, the city and
region has always been a welcoming home to people of various
faiths. Acceptance and respect for diversity of faith is an area
strength and it continues to this day.
The early population of Fall River was either Congregational,
Baptist or Quaker in faith. The First Baptist Church, established in
1781 at the Narrows, moved to its present location on North Main
Street in 1825. The First Congregational Church was organized in
1816 and the Society of Friends was organized in 1819. New
congregations formed and church buildings went up steadily
including the First Methodist in 1826, the First Christian in 1829,
the Unitarian in 1832, the Episcopal Church of the Ascension in
1836, Central Congregational in 1842, the Second Baptist and
United Presbyterian in 1846, St. Paul’s M.E. in 1851 and the
Church of the New Jerusalem in 1854. The first Catholic Church,
St. Mary’s, was organized in 1836 followed by the Sacred Heart in
1873. The first Jewish synagogue was also established shortly
thereafter.
Fall River is now home to the Diocese of Fall River, which was
established as a division of the Diocese of Providence in March
1904. The Diocese covers an expansive 1194 square miles from
Attleboro east to Cape Cod and the Islands. Around 1900, the
essayist Lyman noted, “At the present time there are about forty
Protestant churches, besides several missions, fifteen Catholic
churches and three Jewish congregations. The constituency of the
Catholics far outnumbers that of the Protestants; and their church
building are both more spacious and of a more solid character.”
Near many of these edifices are church schools, where some
thousands of children receive elementary instruction. Some of the
parish schools carry the instruction up to the high school grade.
The history and contributions of Fall River’s religious leaders
during the 19th and 20th centuries in many ways rivals that of the
workers and owners of the cotton mills and textile industries.
Strong parish organizations, many of which included large schools
run by an amazingly diverse group of Catholic Sisters and
Brothers, provided high quality education to thousands of young
people, often in bilingual settings. These included both day schools
and boarding school and included schools with specialized
curriculums in classical, commercial and nursing courses. The
Catholic Church also ran orphanages and established asylums,
nursing homes, hospitals and later, dozens of credit unions, each
attached to its own church parish.
Today, new congregations are mixed with the old respectively. The
continued religious diversity of our city symbolizes that Fall River
is intensely and openly religious as a community, but equally
tolerant and receptive to all.

Somerset was first settled in 1677 on the

in 1790. It was named for Somerset Square in
Boston, which was, in turn, named for the county
of Somerset in England. It was once a vital
shipping point, and after the War of 1812 it was
one of America’s chief distribution points. In
1872, it became the site of a major coal port,
and in the early 20th century a large cannery
existed in the town. However, as neighboring
Fall River’s industry grew, it absorbed much of
Somerset’s, and the town took on more of a
suburban character.

programs, including 10 doctorate level programs. The latest
addition to UMass-Dartmouth is the Commonwealth’s only public
law school. The scholarly research and creative activities of
faculty and graduate students are interwoven with the
undergraduate experience. The main campus, designed by the
eminent architect Paul Rudolph, is situated on 710 acres in North
Dartmouth. Other University sites include the School for Marine
Science and Technology located on the waterfront in New
Bedford, the Advanced Technology and Manufacturing Center in
Fall River, the Star Store Arts Campus in downtown New
Bedford, the Center for Market Research in Fairhaven, and
professional and continuing education facilities in Fall River, New
Bedford, and on Cape Cod.
Charlton College of Business at UMass-Dartmouth
The Charlton College of Business is named for retail giant Earle P.
Charlton, the business school embodies his focus on quality,
ethical principles, and a driving entrepreneurial spirit. The
Charlton faculty represent the highest measure of this quality in
their scholarship, teaching, and service. In business education
around the world, the “Gold Standard” of internationally
recognized excellence is accreditation by AACSB International,
the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Fewer
e d u c at io n
than 30% of the business programs in the United States have
achieved this distinguished accreditation. Charlton is a proud
member of this prestigious group and the only business program
in southern Massachusetts whose faculty wear the badge of the
AACSB gold standard.
The Charlton College is committed to serving the needs of the
business community in southern Massachusetts and the state,
while creating opportunities for their students to learn, grow, and
succeed. To sustain the strength of our undergraduate and graduate
programs, the faculty begin with the powerful academic
credentials reflected in their AACSB accreditation. This
foundation lets the faculty provide graduates of Charlton who can
make an immediate contribution to their work organization, but
equally important, graduates who have the creative, analytic
ability to help businesses and organizations meet the unknown
challenges of the future.
University of Massachusetts – School of Law
There is more to legal education than instilling knowledge of the
law. The best education is one that takes place in an atmosphere of
cooperation and collegiality. The University of Massachusetts –
School of Law offers a rigorous and rewarding legal education
that prepares students for a full range of careers in the practice of
law. UMass Law’s faculty members are deeply devoted to helping
students learn. UMass-Dartmouth also encourages their law
students to become “Citizen Lawyers,” who are committed to the
betterment of their community, their country, and its citizens. The
University of Massachusetts School of Law – Dartmouth has been
provisionally approved by the Council of the Section of Legal
Education and Admissions to the Bar of the American Bar
Association, effective June 8, 2012.
EdUp Campaign
Earning a post-secondary degree is no longer just a pathway to
opportunity for a privileged few. To the contrary, it has become a
prerequisite for the retaining and growing of jobs in this region’s
transitioning economy. Improving educational attainment levels in
Fall River is also critical to the attraction and retention of
businesses. A campaign to raise awareness and aspirations about
educational attainment is underway by the Fall River Area
Chamber of Commerce and it many partners.
EdUp Campaign was established in three stages. Phase one began
with the reinstatement of the Chamber’s Education Committee.
For the past three years the Education Committee has been
advocating on core issues such as support for level funding of
services at the Fall River, Somerset, Swansea and Westport public
schools. There has also been the introduction and funding of
Teach for America teachers into the Fall River school system.
e d u c at io n
Another initiative of the Education Committee has been the sustained
publication of monthly editorials that are printed in The Herald
News and the Business News monthly newspaper. They are also
heard on WSAR1480AM. Copies of the editorials are chronicled
within the “Workforce” section on the Chamber’s website. These
early efforts shaped and set the foundation for phase two.
Phase two has been the creation of a multi-year marketing
campaign that is strategically aimed at raising awareness about the
value of educational attainment. The campaign was fashioned
from the feedback of research gathered by three marketing research
survey projects. A marketing team was then comprised of UMass
and BCC administrators, faculty, students and businesses leaders.
They produced a brand for the region, which is entitled, “EdUp.”
The EdUp community partnership has now shifted into the
implementation stage. On Wednesday, September 18, 2013, the
Education Committee unveiled the EdUp campaign during a
special edition of the Chamber’s “Voice of Business” radio program
on WSAR1480AM. The “EdUp” brand has since been expanded.
Launch of a local access television show in partnership with
Bristol Community College, FRCTV and the Chamber has been
another component of the EdUp Campaign. The “Workforce
Connection” features interviews and discussions about workforce
related issues. It began airing in monthly installments beginning in
September, 2013. The Workforce Connection airs on local cable
access stations across the SouthCoast region.
Other actions have included the development of a community
stakeholder group of parents that meets regularly. It is through the
work of this group that the EdUp Campaign’s first large scale
public activity called, “College Day,” was inspired. College Day
focuses the attention of children and their parents on considering
going to college from a very young age, which research
demonstrates is a powerful tool for getting children to aspire to
college attendance. On College Day children spend the day
immersed in activities designed to bring dreaming and achieving
to college attainment into their sphere. The first area College Day
was held on June 5, 2014.
Next steps include higher visibility through bill board signage, the
production of EdUp shirts and wrist bands for students and EdUp
banners to be produced for placement at area schools. There will also
be the creation of EdUp book makers. A significant undertaking in
2015 has been the launch of a resources and information rich
website. Visit www.EdUpAspire.org for more information.
It is through the charitable work of the Fall River Area Chamber
of Commerce Foundation that the EdUp website, advocacy and
marketing campaigns are made possible. The EdUp campaign
may prove to be one of the most important initiatives undertaken
by the Chamber of Commerce and its many partners. Your support
and partnership in needed to ensure that SouthCoast citizens
embrace educational attainment. Please contact the Chamber on
how you can help support the mission of EdUp Campaign.

Government Affairs
Participation by the private sector in the shaping of public and
economic policy helps government officials understand and
appreciate how legislation, ordinances and decisions impact
commerce, industry and quality of life. Look no further than
recent events and issues for confirmation on the need for active
private involvement and engagement. Therefore, it should be no
surprise that the medium often leveraged to express the collective
views of businesses is through their Chamber of Commerce.
The Fall River Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry was
created over 100 years ago by area businesses to represent and
advocate on their behalf. Chamber members develop the
organization’s positions on issues by working through the
Government Affairs Committee, the Executive Committee and the
Board of Directors. Leaders in business that are involved on these
committees, along with the Chamber’s General Counsel, are
charged with reviewing and monitoring legislation and regulations
that impact industry and commerce. They also preview government
meeting agendas and attend and testify at government hearings on
ordinances, regulations and legislation. Based on the anticipated
impact and the timing, the Chamber may at times prepare a written
responses, submit proposed legislation and serve as a medium to
educate and engage the membership and the community.
Above all the Chamber is an independent voice for businesses and
not necessarily a cheerleader. The Government Affairs Committee

considers issues on the merits relative to their impact on
businesses, the local economy and the community. Usually, the
Chamber and government are in-synch. In challenging economic
times working in collaboration is very important, but is also
important to understand that the Chamber is not a department of
any municipal entity, or the state and federal government.
Furthermore, the Chamber organization is run on private, not
public financial support. The Chamber does not receive
operational funding from any city, town or state entity. The
Chamber also does not maintain a Political Action Committee
(PAC) and does not offer endorsements prior to elections. These
long standing practices allow the Chamber to objectively
represent business interests without undue political pressure.
The Fall River Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry is proud
to serve as one of our region’s most ardent supporters. We are
absolutely unapologetic in our support of enterprise and the
community’s employers who are making investments, taking
risks, creating jobs and through their taxes and payrolls. These
companies provide the means for the community to afford the
public amenities and quality of life investments that are enjoyed
by area residents. The Chamber also works tirelessly to ensure the
success of area businesses and to entice new companies to locate
this in the Fall River to Providence metro area. By advocating for
the best interests of businesses and our community the Chamber
fulfills its mission and purpose.
