Northampton Area Chamber- February 2020 Connections Article

The new year is in full effect and we are all struggling to write the correct date on our checks. The holidays have flown by and now we have to get all our accounting in order to keep our accoun- tants busy for the next few months. We here in Northampton are excited to get the new decade in full swing. We are excited for more grand openings, more events, mixers and anniversaries. 

​
Anyone who lives in the surrounding community is happy to see the Northampton Coplay bridge has reopened ahead of schedule and makes access between the two communities faster and easier. I know I will be taking advantage of it for some fun over the river and I hope our Lehigh County neighbors will be visiting our shops and restaurants as well! 

​
We want to congratulate Sabz Restaurant on their Grand Opening and thank them for inviting us to celebrate with them. While the restaurant has been open and providing some fantastic food to the own for a few months, they are having their official grand opening ribbon cutting on Thursday, February 6th. The Restaurant opened on Cherryville Road and brought a modern twist on Persian flavors to town! 

​
I hope you can all join us as we have partnered with the Whitehall Area Chamber on Tuesday, March 24th at 11:30 for a luncheon tour of the FedEx facility on Willowbrook Road. It will be a very educational tour and an insight look to see how all those clicks on our phones end up as packages on our door- steps. 

​
Thanks again to my wonderful board and all the local volunteers who make Northampton area the greatest town to call home!
