Resources for Businesses

The Department of Community Assets and Development (DCAD) oversees economic development issues and concerns in New Brighton. Some development occurs on its own and some through the encouragement and assistance of City staff and financing strategies. DCAD staff works with elected officials, advisory commissions, citizens, and businesses to develop plans designed to build and maintain a healthy residential and business environment.
