Economic Enhancement Committee
Mission
The Economic Enhancement Committee strives to ensure that Downtown Newark is a great environment for business. Functionally, the committee works to recruit new businesses, as well as retain our current downtown businesses through programs that foster a favorable downtown environment. This committee is always working to improve the business mix downtown by recruiting selectively the businesses that best complement existing establishments.
The Economic Enhancement Committee is a staff function of the City of Newark’s Planning and Development Department, and as such, no regularly scheduled public meetings take place. To obtain more information on this committee or call 302-366-7030.
