The Maquoketa Chamber of Commerce has sold its building and plans to move into the Maquoketa Arts Experience Building across Main Street.

Healing Arts Therapeutic Massage bought the building at 117 S. Main St. for $30,000, according to Chamber Executive Director Tom Devine. He said plans call for the chamber to move into the arts facility at 124 S. Main St. in 60 days. Healing Arts was located at 124 W. Platt St. The business is owned by Dena Donatsch.

Devine said renovations have begun at the arts building to accommodate the chamber offices.
Devine said the chamber and arts group will remain separate entities but will be housed in one building.
