About Us
Like many thriving New England
towns, Peabody is a vibrant mixture of the historic and the new. We've found
creative new uses for the buildings left over from the tanning industry,
built the North Shore's largest shopping mall, and created a high tech
industrial park the envy of any community.
You'll find traditional New England white steepled churches and a city center where a policeman ushers you across a busy intersection and calls you by
name. Then again, you can almost eat your way around the world as you enjoy
the cuisine of dozens of ethnic restaurants or celebrate almost 40 different
subcultures at the International Festival. We are a well-balanced mixture of
commercial and residential and a blend of development and open green spaces.
The Chamber prides itself on being a strong voice for business. We actively
promote our members, and we maintain close contacts with local and state
level legislators. Peabody enjoys some of the lowest residential taxes in
Essex County and our commercial/industrial taxes are lower than most of the
surrounding communities. Along with our member businesses, the Chamber of
Commerce is committed to being part of the process, part of the solution,
and definitely part of the community. We believe Peabody is a city
of opportunity, and we are a vital part of that Peabody Pride. Join us, and
help extend the partnership.
