Caribou, Presque Isle chambers merge, pool resources
The Caribou Chamber of Commerce closed Dec. 31 and has merged with the Central Aroostook Chamber, which is located in Presque Isle.
The area served by the Caribou chamber was picked up by the Central Aroostook chamber, the Bangor Daily News reported.
“We have been talking about it for a few years, but nothing has been official until now,” said Theresa Fowler, executive director of the Central Aroostook Chamber of Commerce. “I think it is a good opportunity to pool resources and serve a larger area.”
Fowler estimated that about 40 of the businesses served by the Caribou chamber were enrolled in the Presque Isle chamber. Caribou chamber staff will move to the Presque Isle chamber. The Caribou building will be put up for sale.
