Auburn – This week, the Auburn Chamber of Commerce picked up a boost from the city in support of a new multi-million dollar facility.
During its April 7 meeting, the Auburn City Council unanimously approved a $400,000 agreement with the Auburn Chamber to help fund the proposed building project. The money will be paid in eight $50,000 annual installments starting no later than FY2029. The agreement also includes naming rights for the new building’s meeting room.
Chamber President and CEO Anna Hovey told councilors that an approval would allow the organization to refocus its attention and enhance its chances of attracting other funding. The project is expected to cost $3.5 million. Hovey said that the Chamber has currently raised $1.46 million from around 50 entities and businesses.
