The Economic Development Office is pleased to announce a new permitting guide that is targeted to small businesses to help them navigate the process of permitting and licensing a new or expanding business in Bedford.

The guide is in an easy-to-read and user-friendly format to promote small business enterprise in Bedford and encourage the types of businesses that Bedford residents would like to see more of based on our recent Great Road Market Study survey.

The permitting guide is the result of collaboration between the departments of Economic Development, Planning, Board of Health, and Code Enforcement. We would also like to thank the Bedford Chamber of Commerce for invaluable input in early drafts.

To view the guide, please download a copy here: Permitting Guide for Small Businesses.
