Cambridge Waterfront Development Inc. has moved its day-to-day operations to the offices of the Dorchester Chamber of Commerce building at 306 High St.

“We are very excited to have a full-time downtown office,” said Matt Leonard, CWDI’s executive director. “That was one of the needs identified through CWDI’s recent Strategic Planning session.”

CWDI’s mission has accelerated through 2022, and its operations are evolving to keep pace. CWDI determined that they needed to be more accessible to the community and faster and more agile in their operations.

To meet these needs, CWDI will use the full and expanding resources that the chamber offers. In business since 1921, the Dorchester Chamber of Commerce is the community's oldest, largest and most effective business advocate. Its mission is to advance Dorchester County through educating, promoting and nurturing a strong, resilient business community.

The chamber is currently recruiting an additional staff member to better serve its members.

“A key part of our strategy is to provide as much business support as possible for growth in the community, and supporting members like CWDI helps us do that,” said Bill Christopher, Chamber president and CEO. “We are excited to have CWDI using our facility as they continue their important work on the waterfront.”

CWDI’s mission is to develop Cambridge Harbor in partnership with the community, to the benefit of the community, and to sustainably operate and maintain Cambridge Harbor as a place to live, work and visit.
