EDC Strategies for Economic Development
- Foster communication among Chester businesses and encourage them to support each other.
- Retain Chester businesses by complementing their promotional efforts with our own and encouraging the development of properties that will meet their changing needs.
- Attract businesses that would benefit Chester by making them aware of all that Chester has to offer and directing them to available properties in town that may suit their purposes.
- Reach out to commercial property developers who are willing to work within the guidelines of our Plan of Conservation and Development and convince them that Chester is a good place to make an investment.
- Advocate the creation of regulated zones that can accommodate businesses beneficial to our town.
- Help businesses to find employees by working with schools, transportation providers, and owners of town properties suitable for housing a diverse workforce.
