As a result of the proactive commitment of Mayor Mark Hawke, the City’s Economic Development Office was established in early 2008 through a partnership with the Gardner Redevelopment Authority, the Greater Gardner Industrial Foundation, and the City. This approach has established a single point of contact for the City to assist and encourage business attraction, retention and expansion, with the intent on creating good paying jobs, promoting public and private investment, and increasing the local tax base.

The Office offers a variety of resources and technical assistance for businesses looking to relocate, expand, and remain in the City. Some of these include site finder services, traditional and non-traditional financing options, tax incentives, and workforce development programs. The Office can also assist with business plan and loan proposals, local and state permitting guidelines, and other general business assistance to help expedite your business plan.

Thanks for visiting our site and we hope you find Gardner to be a pro-business community.
