About the Chamber
Since the Chamber was incorporated in 1927, it has served Ridgewood continuously. It acts as a public relations couselor, a representative to local government, a problem solver, an infomation and resource center, and as a coordinator of business and professional programs and promotions. The Chamber promotes the maintenance of a dignified and successful business and professional district.

The Chamber works cooperatively with the NJ Chamber of Commerce, Commerce and Industry Association, The Village of Ridgewood Government, and other organizations and agencies that serve the residents.

The Chamber maintains an office at 199 Dayton Street. The attractive Cape Cod ranch building was originally the municipal bus station and was moved to its present site in the 1960s. The Chamber supports seasonal events throughout the Village of Ridgewood.
