To promote development through an economic development plan and strategy, and promotion of the growth, retention and diversification of business
, industry and tourism through marketing, property tax incentives, and infrastructure development. Large and small, we value them all and hope to foster a productive, positive relationship. o Goals
One of the prime goals of the Ledyard Economic Development Commission is to increase our town’s commercial and industrial tax base. o Focus on Existing Business
Ledyard is a great place. We value our open space, our history, our cultural events, farming and our schools. The volunteers that work for our community make Ledyard a special place in many ways. The local business community, also, makes Ledyard special and we need to value it. There is no better way to grow our commercial tax base than to support and nurture the businesses already here. In the economic development world, it is called business retention. To us, it just makes sense. The Economic Development Commission meets monthly in the Town Hall Annex.
