History

We were founded in 2001 as a non-profit 501c3 and as the organization to represent the Town of St. Johnsbury's Designated Downtown. In 2010, we changed our name to St. Johnsbury Works! dba St. Johnsbury Chamber of Commerce, and usually refer to ourselves as the St. Johnsbury Chamber of Commerce. We are part of the National Main Street program, and a local chamber. 

As a 501c3 charitable organization, focused on education and revitalization activities, contributions are tax deductible charitable contributions. 

National Main Street Program

We are part of the National Main Street Program and continue to follow their proven downtown revitalization strategy, the Four Point approach. For more information on downtown revitalization and its role in economic development of a community ...
