 Bedford is Business Partnership

The Bedford is Business Partnership was created as a municipal, business-led collaborative to develop and promote business in Bedford, Massachusetts.

Bedford is a major technology development center with excellent access to major Interstate routes and local air transportation. Bedford is an old New England town that provides a welcoming environment with opportunities for both business and new residents. Located just 15 miles from Boston residents have easy access to a world-class cultural center.  Bedford’s business infrastructure includes light industrial parks, defense contract facilities, shopping centers, retail and office space, and build-able land.

The Partnership works as a marketing resource, strategic business partner, and advocate in local government.  We are seeking new business partners, large and small.  We offer a number of benefits to help facilitate your business development.  Call and learn what we can do together.
