The Newmarket Economic Development office was established in April 2006. The primary objective of the department is to design, develop, implement and monitor an economic development strategy for the Town that includes encouraging the retention and expansion of existing industry, attracting new industry and employment growth, and developing a marketing strategy aimed at promoting the Town as a premiere investment location.

The Newmarket Economic Development Advisory Committee (NEDAC) was formed in May 2007. It is comprised of ten business and community leaders plus the Mayor and Regional Councillor. NEDAC will provide Council and staff with strategic advice on facilitating and promoting balanced, sustainable, long-term economic growth that will benefit Newmarket and its residents. NEDAC is currently developing a new economic development strategic plan that will provide a blueprint for the future growth of the community.
