The Greater Fort Lee Chamber of Commerce was renamed to reflect a broader geographic base and take a “more inclusive stance,” officials say.
The organization formerly known as The Greater Fort Lee Chamber of Commerce is now called The Fort Lee Regional Chamber of Commerce (FLRCC), a name change that was adopted in April and went into effect a month later.
