Before the night came to a close, Chamber members Landon Meeker and Tammy Gazzola announced plans to begin construction on a brand new Chamber of Commerce building. So far the Chamber has secured the land and a $3 million gift towards the cost of construction. 

The facility will feature a welcome space, classrooms for extended learning and training, meeting spaces, and a banquet hall. The building design will be sufficient for the Chamber needs for years to come, even as Weatherford continues to grow.
