Driving Growth. Supporting Business. Building Newmarket’s Future.
Newmarket’s Economic Development team is advancing bold initiatives that strengthen our local economy, spark innovation, and create opportunities for businesses to thrive. These priorities reflect our commitment to building a vibrant, resilient, and future ready community.
Economic Nutrition
Building a Stronger Local Economy from the Inside Out
Newmarket is partnering with the Shorefast Institute on an exciting Economic Nutrition initiative that highlights the power of local procurement. By identifying how and where dollars flow through our community, we can help businesses, organizations, and residents make informed decisions that keep more value close to home.
This initiative will create tools and insights that encourage local purchasing, strengthen local supply chains, and boost the resilience of Newmarket’s economy. When businesses source locally, the entire community benefits, and the impact compounds over time.
Shop Local
Supporting Local Businesses and Strengthening Community Connections
A thriving local economy starts with strong local businesses. Our Shop Local priority focuses on promoting the importance of buying close to home while developing incentive programs, campaigns, and awareness initiatives that showcase the incredible businesses across Newmarket.
From spotlighting entrepreneurs to collaborating with partners and community groups, we work to build a culture where residents choose local first. Every purchase supports jobs, fuels growth, and contributes to the unique character that makes Newmarket such a vibrant place to live and work.
Shorefast Collaboration
Reimagining the Places Where Community and Business Connect
Our ongoing work with the Shorefast Institute also includes exploring and activating new community spaces that bring people together and support local enterprise. These spaces are designed to inspire connection, creativity, and collaboration, all essential ingredients for a thriving business environment.
By identifying opportunities to enhance public spaces, support placemaking, and create new gathering points, we are laying the groundwork for a more dynamic and interconnected community. Vibrant spaces attract people, spark local spending, and help businesses flourish.
