Existing businesses play an essential role in the overall economic health and quality of life in Bartonville.

The Bartonville CDC will be initiating a Business Retention and Expansion Program and strategy to support the success and growth of the existing businesses. An on-site visitation program is underway and Bartonville businesses are invited and encouraged to participate.

Our goal is to learn more about you, develop a working relationship, and assist in connecting existing businesses with the right information, resources and programs in ways that will improve the business climate. Through these on-site visits, our goal is to achieve the following objectives:

  • Gain a more comprehensive knowledge about the types of businesses operating in Bartonville
  • Learn more about each individual operation and share information about the Bartonville EDC services
  • Express our appreciation to Bartonville businesses and share in the celebration of current successes and achievements
  • Identify business concerns related to economic development and facilitate dialogue with the appropriate entities to address the issues
  • Identify and analyze trends, challenges and opportunities facing our existing businesses and mobilize appropriate resources, programs and services when appropriate
  • Act as a liaison, advocate and point of contact for Bartonville's business community
  • Identify opportunities to work with businesses to attract critical suppliers and/or customers to Bartonville
  • Identify opportunities for the expansion of specific business sector clusters
