About the Commission
The Exeter Economic Development Commission (also known as the Exeter Development Commission) is a nine member committee composed of town officials and citizens to further the efforts of economic development in the Town of Exeter. The EEDC was established in May of 1968 via the adoption of a Town Ordinance to facilitate relationships between the town and local businesses, thus supporting the economic foundation of the town and bolstering the vitality of the community. The EEDC aims to serve as a resource to existing and potential Exeter businesses.
Goals include:
- Retention and expansion of existing industries and businesses
- Attraction and development of new industries and businesses
- Redevelopment of targeted areas
- Fostering a cooperative effort with organizations involved in the economic development of the area
- Marketing Exeter as a choice industrial and business location
The EDC will continue to support projects that add to Exeter's commercial tax base while following recommendations contained in the Town's Master Plan.
Who We Are
The EEDC is composed of both town officials and citizens. By virtue of Town Ordinance 821.1, the Chairman of the Planning Board, the Town Manager, and the Select Board Chair sit as ex-officio members.
