Belmont Economic Development Task ForceCalling Belmont business leaders & stakeholders! The City is recruiting volunteers to serve on an Economic Development Task Force.

The Task Force will then develop recommendations for City Council consideration on business recovery efforts, as well as business attraction and retention. This short-term commitment (six meetings) will play an important role in how the City implements its economic development strategy. The Task Force will convene on six Mondays from October 2021 to January 2022, and then present recommendations to City Council in January 2022. To join the Economic Development Task Force, please complete the Task Force Interest Form by 5 pm Monday, September 27th. More information and public meeting participation link available online. |

How will this impact residents and businesses? Tell us about it by taking the survey! The survey will close September 30th.
