Economic Development »
The Bedford area is decidedly pro-active in economic development. Primarily, the focus has been on acquiring and developing industrial property with appropriate zoning and the necessary public infrastructure such as adequate public roads, water, sewer and storm water management. In some cases shell buildings have been made available so that a new or expanding industry might be afforded an opportunity to move ahead on a project with a shortened timetable.Schools and Colleges »
