Supporting a Strong Local Economy
The Smithfield Economic Development Commission works to support a local economy that reflects the character of our community: welcoming, hard-working, and rooted in place. We support local businesses, encourage thoughtful investment, and help strengthen the places that make Smithfield a good place to live, work, and do business.
What We Focus On
Economic development is not simply about attracting new development. It is about creating the conditions for local businesses, workers, property owners, and neighborhoods to succeed over the long term while protecting the qualities that make Smithfield distinctive.
Support Local Business
Help existing businesses connect with municipal resources, navigate local processes, identify opportunities, and continue investing in Smithfield.
Encourage Thoughtful Investment
Work with businesses, property owners, and prospective investors to support projects that contribute to Smithfield’s economy and fit the community’s long-term direction.
Strengthen Smithfield
Advance economic initiatives that reinforce village centers, local identity, community resilience, and a healthy long-term tax base.
