The Economic Development Department implements the goals and vision of the Township Master Plan. By creating incentives and programs that support the ever challenging development market, the Township is committed to building a sustainable and vibrant community where businesses thrive. Our team is here to help establish your business, expand your business using local incentives, provide feedback on development projects, and engage with residents, landowners, and business owners on potential projects.
