Voluntown Economic Development Commission

Our Mission

The mission of the Voluntown Economic Development Commission is to foster economic development in Voluntown and increase the tax base by retaining existing businesses and helping them grow, encouraging indigenous business start-up, and recruiting light industry

Through this website the Voluntown EDC intends to promote Voluntown to prospective businesses and visitors, by highlighting what our town has to offer them.

We hope the new website makes it easier for residents to access information on Voluntown EDC activities. The Voluntown Farmers’ Market, and Voluntown Methodist Church Project pages will be updated frequently. Check back often!

The Voluntown EDC would like to highlight local businesses right here on this website. If you would like to nominate a business to be highlighted, please email us at edc@voluntown.gov . Highlighted business spots may include photos, description of services, introduction of owner(s), and a link to website and social media outlets.

Please remember that www.Voluntown.biz is your tool. Any ideas that you have are greatly appreciated. If your business has an existing website, and you would like to have it linked to www.Voluntown.biz, please send us an email. Thank you in advance for your reply, and thank you for helping us support our town.

Do you know of any middle school or high school students looking for community service hours? We have volunteer positions available at the Voluntown Farmers Market. Please contact EDC@voluntown.gov for more information.

The Voluntown Economic Development Commission has 2 Alternate vacancies. An Alternate gets a voting seat during a meeting in the event of a full board member’s absence. Alternates make it possible for us to hold meetings in the event that full commission members are unable to attend. If you are interested in being appointed to as Alternate commissioner, please fill out the Town of Voluntown Volunteer Form and return it to the Town Clerk’s Office.

Come to our next meeting and see what we do! The EDC meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7PM- except in July and August we have no meetings.
