Orrington's Economic Development Program is the responsibility of the Town's Elected Officials, the Selectmen, and consists of five elements:

 

1. Business Retention

 

2. Business Attraction

 

3. Community Preparedness For Economic Development

 

4. Grant Identification

 

5. Grant Writing

 

The Selectmen are aided in this work by the various Municipal Departments and Planning Board and guided by the recommendations of the Selectmen's Economic Advisory Committee.

 

The Selectmen's Economic Advisory Committee is staffed by concerned residents and professionals with experience in real estate, banking and industry.
