Brigantine Chamber<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Brigantine Beach is a NJ seashore town in the middle of an ongoing transition and municipal overhaul. Real Estate, city operations, government and taxes are 4 areas changing at a fast clip.<\/p>\n

But one critical component of our economy that’s been consistently overlooked and under-utilized is the Brigantine Chamber of Commerce. Click thru to take a look at a 2012 recap of the Brigantine Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

The #1 job of a \u201cChamber of Commerce\u201d\u2026..is to promote commerce.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brigantine is starting to get on the radar of more 2nd home buyers, Real Estate developers and families looking for a safe, clean and affordable place for Summer vacations. Does the Chamber have a plan for that opportunity? When it comes to promoting commerce and new business development, seems like no one is taking that bull by the horns.<\/p>\n

Many items listed below are really nice things, no doubt. Some are quite valuable. Yet\u2026many Chamber members wondered why more of the Chamber budget\u2026. isn\u2019t devoted to boosting the most critical part of our economy: Tourism & New Business Development.<\/p>\n

\n

Others mentioned the expenses\u2026 that had nothing to do with promoting commerce.<\/strong><\/p>\n
