CHAMBER IN THE WILD

Celebrating the City State Bank Norwalk Fieldhouse Opening

We were thrilled to be part of the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the City State Bank Norwalk Fieldhouse, managed by the Norwalk Parks and Recreation team. This exciting new addition to our community will provide residents with a state-of-the-art facility for sports, fitness, and recreation.

 

The Fieldhouse is designed to serve as a hub for local sports leagues, fitness enthusiasts, and families seeking a space for both recreational and community-focused activities. It’s a wonderful testament to the growth and vibrancy of our town, offering something for everyone.

 

A special thank you to City State Bank for their generous support in making this project possible, and to the Norwalk Parks and Recreation team for their dedication in ensuring the facility is not only functional but a welcoming space for all. We look forward to seeing how this new space will foster a sense of community and encourage an active lifestyle for years to come.

 

Celebrating the Ribbon Cutting for In2It Digital

We were excited to host the ribbon-cutting ceremony for In2It Digital, a valued new member of the Norwalk Area Chamber of Commerce. Established in 2018, In2It Digital has built a strong reputation in the digital marketing, branding, social media, and web design space, helping businesses enhance their online presence with innovative and customized solutions.

 

We’re thrilled to officially welcome them into our Chamber family and look forward to the continued impact they will make in helping businesses grow and thrive.

 

Congratulations to the entire In2It Digital team, and thank you for being part of our vibrant business community!
