By Staff Report, posted 1 hour ago

The Greater Fayetteville Chamber is excited to announce the opening of its new Business Training Center and the relocation of its offices to 1636 Skibo Road in Fayetteville. This expansion represents a major investment in the future of the local business community providing a dynamic space dedicated to professional development, collaboration and economic growth across Cumberland County. 

The new facility, which is nearly 8,000 square feet, has been thoughtfully designed to serve as a hub for business education and engagement. The Business Training Center will host a wide range of programming, including expert speakers, workshops and seminars tailored to the needs and interests of Chamber members and the broader business community. 

"This new Business Training Center represents a bold step forward for our organization and the business community we serve," said Nat Robertson, president and CEO of the Greater Fayetteville Chamber, in a press release. "We are creating a space where entrepreneurs, professionals and leaders can come together to learn, grow and strengthen their businesses. This investment reflects our commitment to driving economic development and supporting our member's successes across our region.” 

The Greater Fayetteville Chamber will complete its relocation during the last week of May. During this time, the office will be temporarily closed to facilitate the move. The Chamber will officially reopen on June 1 at its new Skibo Road location. 

"Our board is incredibly proud to support this initiative,” said Samantha Inczauskis, chair of the Greater Fayetteville Chamber Board of Directors, in a press release. “The new facility will provide meaningful opportunities for our members to connect, develop new skills, and elevate their businesses. We encourage everyone to take full advantage of the programs and resources that will be offered in this space." 

This milestone is possible due to the generous support of donors to the Greater Fayetteville Chamber Foundation. The Chamber extends its sincere gratitude to each individual and organization who contributed to bringing this vision to life.
