Your success is our business

Lowell's Economic Development Office offers a host of incentives and assistance to companies and commercial developers including site selection, workforce development, small business loan programs, traditional and non-traditional finance programs and other areas of technical assistance.

These services are provided both directly and in partnership with the Lowell Development & Financial Corporation, Lowell Small Business Assistance Center, Career Center of Lowell, Massachusetts Office of Business Development, MassDevelopment, and other local and regional partners.
