The combination of favorable rents, proximity to Boston and Cambridge, a strong, built-in consumer base, an educated workforce and a powerful city-wide high-bandwidth infrastructure makes Somerville a very attractive location for businesses of all sizes.

Starting and managing a business takes motivation and talent, research and planning. Also, the process of acquiring all the necessary approvals on the local level can seem daunting!

Somerville has several business assistance programs. These include the Storefront Improvement Program, the Somerville 4 Business funding search engine, Brownfield development assistance, and more. Click on links below to learn more about each program.

For more information about any of these initiatives, please contact Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development at 617-625- 6600 ext 2500.
