President's Welcome Statement


As President of the Upper Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce representing many towns, from south to north along Route 201 and beyond, of Bingham, Moscow, Solon, Concord, Pleasant Ridge, Caratunk, Embden, New Portland, The Forks and The West Forks Maine, I have the privilege of extending a very warm welcome to our visitors, Members and residents of  the towns we serve.

The Upper Kennebec Valley is a very special and inviting place that includes great restaurants, lodging and shopping, along with a wonderful quality of life.

Each of these Maine communities has its own character and its special attractions. There is always something to do, whether it's whitewater rafting on the Penobscot, kayaking or canoeing on Wyman Lake or the Kennebec River, hikes to Moxie Falls, camping on thousands of acres of wilderness, snowmobiling on our beautifully groomed trails or just quietly enjoying our beautiful scenery with a walk or bicycle ride.


The Upper Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce is always available to assist in any way we can. The Chamber represents its member businesses and works with the various communities that we represent, supporting their activities and programs throughout the year.

Please feel free to visit our office on Main Street Bingham, Maine and pick up a free map of the area or any other brochure available. Be sure to look for the UKV Chamber Member Plaque, proudly displayed, wherever you shop or dine in the area. Upper Kennebec Valley Chamber members care about the community and hope you may be able to be a part of it.

Again, welcome and enjoy our beautiful Upper Kennebec Valley Region.
