Business Development Committee

Mission

The Business Development Committee was formed in 2020 to develop partnerships and foster an environment that will create a thriving downtown, and a strong business economy in the Borough of Morris Plains.

Strategy

The committee is following the “Main Street Approach,” developed by Main Street America, committed to building vibrant neighborhoods and thriving economies. Our approach includes:

Developing a framework, relationships, and gathering data
Researching our market and recruiting appropriate businesses
Creating an environment where people want to shop and visit
Sharing information about loans, grants, outdoor dining and other opportunities with our existing small businesses to help them thrive
Promoting the unique characteristics of our Borough

Small Business Grants

Grant funding made available from the American Rescue Plan Act is still available to support Morris County’s small businesses and nonprofit organizations as they struggle to meet the challenges posed by the pandemic. For information, visit www.morriscountygrants.com.
