The Northeast L.A. Gateway Chamber of Commerce, formerly the Glassell Park Chamber of Commerce, has launched their new website (www.lagatewaychamber.org).
The recently renamed Chamber has also expanded their service area well beyond Glassell Park . They now boldly claim to serve over “10,000 members” in Atwater Village, Cypress Park, Eagle Rock, Echo Park, Elysian Valley, Highland Park, Lincoln Heights, Los Feliz, Washington, Silver Lake, and the City of Glendale.

The recently renamed Chamber has also expanded their service area well beyond Glassell Park . They now boldly claim to serve over “10,000 members” in Atwater Village, Cypress Park, Eagle Rock, Echo Park, Elysian Valley, Highland Park, Lincoln Heights, Los Feliz, Washington, Silver Lake, and the City of Glendale. They explain on their website:
“We decided to expand our horizons to include all of our neighboring communities located in the vicinity of the Los Angeles River and the transportation corridors that form a gateway to the greater Northeast Los Angeles area, both in the City of Los Angeles and the City of Glendale. As a result we are now an organization that uniquely combines both a regional and local chamber of commerce. We are bringing together in one place information on more than 10,000 local businesses as well as on our local service and community groups.”However, despite Glassell Park’s inclusion in the expanded service area some community members have expressed misgivings about the recent changes. Some are concerned that the NELA Gateway Chamber has turned its back on the same community it was originally created to promote. In effect, leaving Glassell Park without a chamber of commerce exclusively dedicated to promoting the businesses and the general economic wellbeing of that community.
