This month, we're thrilled to kick off Partner Appreciation Month! It's a month-long celebration dedicated to honoring our Chamber's most dedicated members in terms of investment and personal commitment to advancing our mission of fostering a robust business ecosystem on the South Shore. We deeply appreciate their invaluable contributions, and honestly, we couldn't accomplish the impactful work we do without their steadfast support! Thank you. A.W. Perry, Inc.
But the state is facing a real challenge on workforce and housing which needs to be addressed with some broad strokes. Chambers and business groups need to help our communities get to “yes” on housing in ways that preserve unique community characteristics and promote our future. Thank you to Marshfield Community Media for recording the event. More photos can be found here! Event Sponsor:
Plymouth, Massachusetts – With the first residents moving into Rowen at The Pinehills, we are pleased to offer a unique, commercial opportunity in one of the most vibrant and celebrated master-planned communities in the nation. 3,662 square feet of ground floor space, suitable for restaurant or retail, is available at Rowen. It is a prime, street-front location overlooking The Pinehills Village Green, perfectly situated to capitalize on the bustling energy of this mixed-use community.
Rowen at The Pinehills, and The Pinehills Village Green, are in southeastern Plymouth County, an ideal destination for residents and tourists alike, 45 miles from Boston and 7 miles from Cape Cod. As the only major retail and office center along a ten-mile stretch off Route 3, The Pinehills Village Green and Rowen present an exciting chance for a restaurant or retail establishment to put down roots in one of Massachusetts' fastest-growing counties. Rowen is a mixed-use enclave of luxury apartment homes and retail spaces built in partnership by Bozzuto, New England Development, Pinehills LLC, and institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management, and thoughtfully designed by ICON Architecture. “As part of the Village Green, Rowen is located within The Pinehills’ thriving commercial center, which has seen recent expansions of beloved eateries Blueberry Muffin, East Bay Grille, and Mamma Mia’s (coming later this year,) as well as the addition of new local businesses with the opening of STUZZi Café & Sweet Shop, and Book Love,” said Deborah Sedares, President of Pinehills LLC. Other key businesses within The Pinehills include the 2023 Forbes 4-Star rated Mirbeau Inn & Spa, The Market, Longridge Wine & Spirits, Charles David Salon & Spa, Rye Tavern, TD Bank, Daisies gift shop, and a seasonal Beer Garden by Mayflower Brewing. Also, Cape Cod 5, in their 5th year at The Pinehills, recently relocated to Rowen at The Pinehills and expanded their banking services. Don't miss the excitement at Rowen, and this opportunity to become part of the dynamic commercial landscape at The Pinehills Village Green.

We want to update you on the former South Weymouth Air Base, also known as Union Point or Southfield. A critical decision will be made by the Rockland Town Meeting on Tuesday, November 7 at 7:00 P.M.
The new development team (New England Development and Brookfield Properties) has proposed a plan that moves this critical project forward. The plan will not move ahead without rezoning. Weymouth Town Council and Abington Town Meeting, as well as the Southfield Redevelopment Authority, all have already approved the necessary rezoning plan. Now it is up to Rockland Town Meeting to approve it or stop a project that will benefit the entire region-including Rockland. Only Rockland residents can vote or speak at the meeting, which starts at 7:00 at Rockland High School Auditorium. If you or your employees want to see economic opportunity and growth, we encourage you to attend. Download information about this special town meeting. Rockland will gain a lot of new money for local services from the project. But, with almost every project there are opponents who see growth and change as something bad. The new developers have impressive credentials and successful local projects such as Pinehills in Plymouth and University Station in Westwood. Their new zoning proposal plan, connecting runways to greenways, offers more open space, more homes, and more local tax revenue than previous plans. It also includes mixed used for retail and commercial. The South Shore Chamber of Commerce has long identified the former Base as the most important economic opportunity for the three communities and the surrounding area. The project has a long way to go. Major infrastructure issues have to be addressed. However, the developers and state will not get to that step without having a viable zoning plan in place. On Tuesday night, only Rockland residents will have a voice in deciding on a successful project, with a top development team that has local roots, or a partially built neighborhood with an uncertain future and lost opportunities. The former Base has been closed for 25 years, this is the right plan, the right team, and maybe the last chance to see a great project. Please feel free to share with any Rockland residents. The Nominating Committee of the South Shore Chamber of Commerce is pleased to submit a slate of Officers and Directors for terms starting January 1, 2024. Under our bylaws, additional names can be placed before the board through a petition bearing signatures of 75 members in good standing. Candidates will be presented to the Chamber’s Board of Directors at their November meeting.
