Events Focus

A major concern throughout 2021 was sustainability. The city prioritized attracting and expanding companies with sustainable missions and practices, such as 80 Acres Farms and Saica. The city continues to pursue renewable sources of energy as well, with over 51% of the electric utility coming from sustainable sources, such as hydroelectricity, in 2021.

After the success of efforts on High and Main Street, the city is now focusing on developing business corridors in other neighborhoods as well. This includes the Lindenwald Business District on Pleasant Avenue, as well as along Heaton Street and North 7th Street in the North End.
