The Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce (BVCC) is excited to welcome the Main Street Matters Tour, to support local Blackstone Valley businesses. This event will take place on Thursday, May 28, 2026, from 8:30am-10:00am at the BVCC Offices, located at 670 Linwood Avenue, Suite 5, Whitinsville. This event is FREE and open to all local business owners and professionals.

Main Street Matters Tour is a statewide initiative designed to bring small business owners together for meaningful conversation, collaboration, and insight into the issues impacting local communities. Presented by National Federation of Independent business (NFIB), Retailers Association of Massachusetts (RAM), and The Massachusetts Restaurant Association (The MRA), this event provides an opportunity for attendees to engage directly with fellow business leaders, share challenges, and gain a deeper understanding of current legislative and economic issues facing small businesses across the Commonwealth. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss key topics including rising energy costs, health insurance premiums, Massachusetts tax rankings, labor mandates, and unemployment insurance concerns.

The BVCC is also proud to partner with the Webster Dudley Oxford Chamber of Commerce to bring this important conversation to our business communities.

“This unique opportunity for business owners to come together, have their voices heard, and stay informed about the issues shaping our local and state business environment,” said BVCC Executive Director, Liz O’Neil.
