WATERTOWN, N.Y. — The Greater Watertown-North Country (GWNC) Chamber of Commerce on Thursday announced plans to move its office, effective Nov. 1.
The chamber’s new home will be in the recently renovated Bruce M. Wright Memorial Conference Center at 1291 Faichney Drive, Ste 1 in Watertown, according to a chamber news release.

The move will enable the organization to “grow its programs” while focusing on its mission to help members “grow and prosper,” support existing businesses, and help in attracting and developing new businesses, the chamber contended in the release.
