Town of Portsmouth
The Portsmouth Business Development office is a touchstone for all current or prospective businesses and Portsmouth residents. Portsmouth is committed to providing a business friendly environment. The growth of new and existing commercial activity is key to maintaining Portsmouth as a great place to locate.
The majority of Portsmouth is designated as a State Enterprise Zone. This allows Portsmouth to offer beneficial tax incentives to new and expanding businesses. In addition to the State income tax credits for employment growth, the Town offers a very aggressive property tax stabilization program for new construction, or rehabilitation of existing commercial facilities.
Our office works hand in hand with State agencies and local brokers to assist with site selection. The clusters of marine, defense and tech businesses make Portsmouth an attractive location for other associated new ventures as well as new retail and service activity. If you are looking for a prime growth location, Portsmouth is looking for you!.
We will assist in finding needed resources for financing, training, site selection, business counseling and permitting.
"THE SUCCESS OF A BUSINESS IS BASED ON THE SUPPORT ON THE COMMUNITY!"
