Goals for 2013 – 2014 Include:

• Hosting Restaurant Week in the Fall so Nanuet restaurants can provide special offerings as well as special pricing -- restaurants who want to participate should send an email to: info@nanuetChamber.com
• The Chamber will continue to work closely with the Town of Clarkstown on the rezoning of the downtown area and beautifying and improving Main Street as the Shops at Nanuet get ready to open in October.
• The Chamber plans to host a Main Street Fair as well as a joint business networking event in the fall.
• The Chamber will host their second holiday party in December.
• The long range committee is actually looking into moving the train station to the new Mall so that it is more conducive for bringing people to the area for shopping as well as installing monorail system in Nanuet to facilitate movement around the hamlet.
• Additional plans include cultural events and environmentally friendly activities.
