The Economic Development Commission (EDC) is asking local business owners to describe their needs and how best the EDC can work with them.
The EDC has established a new committee focused on supporting local businesses. In a letter sent to the town’s businesspeople, the EDC said, “We are eager to hear more about what concerns you and your community and work together to grow businesses in Norfolk.”
With this in mind, the EDC would like to create a Business Community Committee as a forum for business leaders to discuss issues and concerns facing the business community. The EDC will host the first gathering of this forum at the Norfolk Hub Tuesday, June 27, at 7:00 p.m. to discuss the Committee’s charter and begin soliciting feedback on key projects and initiatives.
Business owners are encouraged to attend and to come ready to talk about what they see as the most important issues businesses face. .
The EDC has previously tackled projects related to marketing and branding in Norfolk as well as initiatives that amplify the voices of key constituent groups. It has worked with town government, local associations and foundations, Yale University and other nonprofit groups to sustain and improve Norfolk.
