Economic Development

Over the past thirty years there have been three Master Planning efforts that have each arrived separately at the same conclusion. If Millis is to move ahead we must do something to enhance the commercial activities in town so that they contribute a greater portion of the financial support needed to run town affairs. This can be accomplished three ways.

• We could convert more of the land area in town to "Commercial"
• We could try to attract larger scale businesses that would make greater use of the land area already allotted, or
• We could revise the zoning to promote the kind of small "boutique" style businesses that already find our environment attractive.

The last of these is clearly the quickest and easiest method to promote a healthy and productive commercial base to the town's economy.

These pages will explore the town's efforts in that regard. We hope you will feel free to comment and make suggestions to info@millis.net . We will respond.
