Mission: Connecting businesses to build a better community for everyone that lives, works, and plays in Bethel. Overview The Bethel Chamber of Commerce has a member base of approximately 400 businesses and a 50 year history of success. Bethel is a lovely place to live, work and raise a family. We are a picturesque New England town in close proximity to major metropolitan areas, including New York City, which is only 65 miles away. We have several industrial parks that offer state-of-the-art facilities, a highly rated school system and a historic downtown, complete with cobblestone sidewalks. In addition to our downtown, we have great shops “across the tracks” and in the Stony Hill Four Corners Shopping District. With so much to offer, Bethel draws residents and tourists alike for shopping, dining and special events.
