Economic and Community Development
The Town of Fairfield assumes an active role in planning for economic and community development. A Council-appointed Commission has developed a Strategic Plan that outlines the immediate priorities and goals of the Town's Economic & Community Development Program.
These include:
-
Creating a Vibrant Downtown and Inviting Waterfront
-
Preserving our Rural Villages, Open Space, and Recreational Opportunity
-
Promoting Commercial and Industrial Development
-
Expanding Educational and Cultural Opportunities
Implementation of the Strategic Plan is guided by the Economic/Community Development Advisory Committee.
The Town of Fairfield provides Financial Assistance for Economic Development through several local programs, and partners with Other Resources/Agencies to assist businesses with their needs. Click here to learn about Business Assistance and Resources.
