The St. Bernard Chamber of Commerce has opened a new office at Nunez Community College in the Student Testing and Career Counseling Center, located at 3700 Paris Road in Chalmette. This move ties the Chamber’s business services with workforce and student engagement efforts in St. Bernard Parish.
Biz New Orleans confirmed on May 19, 2026, that the office opening includes a new “Member Marketplace” designed to enhance member visibility and community interaction. The Chamber, which represents approximately 250 members, is now positioned in a strategic on-campus location, reflecting a private-sector decision with potential impacts on local business dynamics.
Erin Bigner, the Executive Director of the St. Bernard Chamber of Commerce, lauded the move as a step towards increased engagement with the local workforce and student body. While details on lease or financial arrangements were not disclosed, the initiative marks a noteworthy private-sector presence within the educational setting, paving the way for similar collaborations.
This development could influence the commercial real estate landscape in the area. The Chamber’s relocation to a college campus might serve as a model for linking business services with educational institutions. By attracting foot traffic through its Member Marketplace, the move might present new opportunities for nearby landlords and small commercial operators.
Although modest, the Chamber’s office opening at Nunez Community College highlights a shift in tenant dynamics within the New Orleans metro area, particularly in St. Bernard Parish. This shift may affect local small office leasing and tenant retention trends, providing valuable insights for brokers and property owners monitoring changes in local demand.
