Economic Development Council

Economic Development is an advisory committee to the Board of Trustees whose primary purpose is to create initiatives and programs which will enhance the quality of the business district while balancing the needs and quality of life for all residents.

The EDC was reinstated in 2009 by Mayor Garant and has initiated many new projects including the Farmers Market, a Harvest and Winter festival, reinstated our neighborhood watch program, created a newlsetter and “how-to-guide” to opening a business, a rebranding Port Jefferson campaign which includes our new logo and a universal walking guide naming every business in both upper and lower Port to be distributed throughout Long Island and beyond through the LI Convention and Visitors Bureau. (LICVB). We welcome members to the EDC from both the commercial, professional and residential districts.
