Town of Leicester, MA
Economic Development Committee
ABOUT US
The ultimate goal of the Town of Leicester's Economic Development Committee is to encourage mixed-use development with a variety of small-scale retail businesses in a more pedestrian-friendly town center, while promoting large-scale retail businesses and office parks in targeted areas away from the town center, and supporting the preservation of historic structures and the redevelopment of underutilized older structures. The EDC strives to serve as the bridge between the business community and local government and serve as a "one stop shop" for all your development needs, including staffing and labor.
