Like many thriving New England towns, Peabody is a vibrant mixture of the historic and the new. We've found creative new uses for the buildings left over from the tanning industry, built the North Shore's largest shopping mall, and created a high tech industrial park the envy of any community.
You'll find traditional New England white steepled churches and a city
center where a policeman ushers you across a busy intersection and calls you by name. Then again, you can almost eat your way around the world as you enjoy the cuisine of dozens of ethnic restaurants or celebrate almost 40 different subcultures at the International Festival. We are a well-balanced mixture of commercial and residential and a blend of development and open green spaces.

The Chamber prides itself on being a strong voice for business. We actively promote our members, and we maintain close contacts with local and state level legislators. Peabody enjoys some of the lowest residential taxes in Essex County and our commercial/industrial taxes are lower than most of the surrounding communities. Along with our member businesses, the Chamber of Commerce is committed to being part of the process, part of the solution,and definitely part of the community. We believe Peabody is a city of opportunity, and we are a vital part of that Peabody Pride. Join us, and help extend the partnership.
