ECONOMIC & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Welcome to the City of Taunton’s Office of Economic and Community Development.
 A Gateway City within easy reach of Boston and Providence, Taunton is uniquely
situated within the region for businesses that want access to either
metropolitan area as well as New England as a whole. It offers unparalleled
access to markets and transportation corridors, and has established partnerships
at the local, state, and federal level to bring economic development resources
within easy reach of investors, whether they are native or new to the City.

With a large and diverse workforce that can easily access Boston or Providence,
plus established commercial clusters that include Myles Standish Industrial
Park, healthcare, residential development, and minority-owned and small
