About the EDC

The Roxbury Economic Development Committee (EDC) serves as an ally for companies seeking a new location, as well as those already operating in Roxbury. It is comprised of local business owners and long-time Roxbury residents, who have tremendous pride in their vibrant community. We benefit from the insight and wisdom of three members of the Township Council, the Township Manager, and several members of the administrative staff, who are intricately involved in every EDC meeting, event and initiative.

Their mission is to create a more vibrant and cultivated community by:

• Developing and maintaining the information, literature and data to assist businesses and industries in their expansion and/or relocation of businesses and industries
• Encouraging the economic well-being and expansion of the existing businesses and industries located in the Township
• Reviewing Township ordinances, policies, and practices to determine their impact on existing and proposed businesses and industries and to make recommendations to the appropriate Township agency for their revision if these revisions would facilitate the economic expansion of the Township
• Serving as an ombudsman between the municipality, its agencies and officials and the business and industrial interest through the investigation of areas of mutual concern, the reporting of the facts surrounding areas of interest, and when necessary, the mediation or opposing viewpoints
• Serving as communication channel between the business and industrial economic interests in Roxbury Township and the municipal government
