Retaining, Revitalizing, Recruiting Local Business

In Belmont, we strive to champion business attraction and expansion for the mutual benefit of our residents and business partners. Our commitment is rooted in the City's Vision Statement, which identifies a "thriving economy" as a long-range goal, while the Belmont Strategic Plan lists Economic Development as a top priority.

Efforts are underway to implement local business land use and housing policies to support a thriving local economy, downtown revitalization, and diverse housing choices. Belmont's Economic Development program is a collaborative effort between the City Manager, Finance, and Community Development Departments.
