Washington Township, with the cooperation of several of its BusinessFirst! regional partners, coordinated Community Business Walks in targeted areas throughout the Township. Representatives from Washington Township, Montgomery County’s Economic Development Office, and other regional resource partners canvass the community in order to talk with business owners and managers and hope to have a conversation about any opportunities or obstacles facing your business and to provide you with possible resources and assistance to address their individual needs. The value the Washington Township BusinessFirst! Program offers to our companies is that our team can link resources to help companies succeed and grow. It provides opportunity to thank local businesses for being a part of the Washington Township business community while referring the appropriate regional partner to the local company during the Business Walk.
