CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
Business Development Program
Located within the
City Manager's Department, the Business Development
Division is committed to helping local businesses compete and thrive. Successful businesses in our community
create a vibrant environment and generate retail sales
tax revenue needed to support city services. The vision of the Business Development Division is to preserve and enhance Menlo Park's strong business climate to ensure the City is financially stable and partners with the community in its commitment to improve the quality of life.
The City's Community Development Agency for non-housing projects is now administered by the Business Development unit. The mission of the agency is to help remove physical blight in its designated project area. This project area is exclusively in the City's Industrial and R&D zoning district, but does not include all of this area.
