Wellington Launches New “Business-Friendly” Initiative
Wellington is launching its “Business Ambassador” Initiative on Monday, October 3, 2011. The program installs a Wellington staff member at a help desk in the City Hall lobby, giving business owners and associations prompt assistance.
“The success of Wellington’s economic development efforts are directly influenced by the city’s relationship with the business community,” said Tim Stillings, Wellington’s Long Range Planning Director. “I want our business owners to know that we are here to help them and appreciate them in Wellington.”
Staff will guide business representatives through the processes within Wellington, including permitting, registration and business tax receipts. Staff will also work with Wellington commercial owners and the local chambers of commerce for business recruitment and retention.
The goals of this new initiative are to ensure businesses receive prompt and professional attention, to retain Wellington businesses, recruit potential businesses, and to enhance communication between Wellington staff and the local chambers of commerce.
Staff will be available to assist business representatives during Wellington’s regular business hours, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Thursday. For more information about Wellington’s Business Ambassador Initiative, contact Tim Stillings at (561) 791-4000.
