Description
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
The East Granby Economic Development Commission meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in the Public Hearing Room at the Town Hall. A Zoom meeting link is also included in each month’s agenda for those who would like to join remotely. The Commission is comprised of nine appointed members including seven regular members and two alternates.
As per CT General Statues Section 7-136,
“The commission shall conduct research into the economic conditions and trends in its municipality, shall make recommendations to appropriate officials and agencies of its municipality regarding action to improve its economic condition and development, shall seek to coordinate the activities of and cooperate with unofficial bodies organized to promote such economic development and may advertise and may prepare, print and distribute books, maps, charts and pamphlets which in its judgment will further its official purposes.”
Commission Goals
The Economic Development Commission’s primary goals are to develop policies, consistent with the Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD), that support business growth, development, retention, and expansion. As a Commission, the three primary goals are:
- Increase revenue for the Town to help reduce the property tax burden
- Create good-paying jobs that are at least equivalent to the town’s median household income
- Provide needed services to the local businesses and residents of East Granby
Forms & Documents
East Granby retained Goman+York Property Advisors, LLC (Goman+York) to assist the community with the creation of a Village Center Master Plan, motivated by Plan of Conservation & Development recommendations and the Town’s desire to create economic vitality. To best facilitate the planning process, a Village Center Master Plan Steering Committee was established to provide oversight of the planning process and to provide input into the Master Plan. The research into existing conditions started in December 2022 and continued through January 2023. An intensive week of public engagement took place between January 18 and January 24, 2023. The public engagement process included four focus groups with business owners, property owners, Town staff, boards and commissions. Three resident/public programs we held on January 19, 21, and 24, 2023. The first two programs were planning and visioning sessions with a series of discussions and activities designed to gain the insights of the public. The third session presented the findings of the first two sessions and worked with the public to further refine the findings and gather input toward possible strategies for improvement. This third session also included a draft vision for the Village Center. Approximately 140 people participated in the public programs and focus groups. During this weeklong public engagement process, an online survey was available to the public, providing an additional 300 residents the opportunity to provide input.
The presentation here is the document used at the January 24th session: East Granby Village Center Master Plan Findings & Refinement Session

Purpose
The purpose of the Tax and Business Incentive Program (the “Program”) is to attract new businesses to the Town, promote expansion of existing businesses (including home-based businesses relocating into commercial and industrial zones), and to encourage rehabilitation and reuse of vacant commercial and industrial buildings. It is the intent of the Town:
- To assist in the creation of jobs for local area residents
- To create long-term tax base growth through the replacement, reconstruction, expansion, and remodeling of existing business facilities where appropriate and not injurious to the surrounding environment
- To encourage construction of new commercial and industrial facilities
- To encourage substantial investment in new machinery, equipment, and other personal property subject to taxation within the Town.
The incentives legislation can be found here: https://ecode360.com/38413068
