About
Our Mission
Our mission is to strengthen the Montgomery community by empowering youth, supporting small businesses, and uplifting charitable organizations through strategic collaboration and connections, impactful community engagement and promotion and networking.
Our Background
Despite accelerated growth in the industrial segment within the town and its villages, the character, heart and economic vitality of the small business community and youth remain the most important component to future success of the town.
Three independent, distinct villages offer multiple opportunities to create economic growth for small business, empower our youth and support our non-profits. If the Business Council can assist in managing this, it will create a well-rounded and established place to work, live, shop and flourish.
Our Goal
To dictate the long term economic and social success of the Greater Montgomery area by investing in the education of our businesses and our young workforce.
What People Are Saying...
As a first time restaurant owner I had no idea what I didn't know. Fortunately for me, the Town of Montgomery Business Council was there to help me each step of the way. There was several times I felt lost and had to lean on them for guidance and advice. They accepted all of my questions with open arms and helped me in a multitude of different ways. They are an excellent addition to the community and essential for future success of local small business. I am forever grateful and encourage anyone who is currently in business or starting a business to reach out and see how they can help you succeed.

I’m opening a Cupcake Shop in the Village of Walden and I am so glad that I picked the location that I did! Opening a business is tough, but doing it in the Town of Montgomery has made things much easier for me! Without the help of the Town of Montgomery Business Council, I’m not sure I would have made it this far. Between everything Brian Maher has done and Randi Picarello answering my 7 million questions, pushing me when I so desperately needed it and keeping in contact to see how things are going. The Town of Montgomery is thriving with new businesses right now and, if I could guess, it’s because of the Business Council and how willingly helpful they are with assisting in the process!

I'd like to thank our Montgomery business council Randi, for helping me throughout the process. Not only during the remodel of the building, but all the way throughout the process to make sure things were running smoothly. We had a few loops & delays during the renovations & Tony & I found ourselves a bit stressed at the time...but thankfully Randi helped alleviate some of that by following up on things with the town. Thank you for going above and beyond as a business council. Small businesses like us can all use all the support we can get, so thank you for that. Our ribbon cutting was perfect and I can not wait to do more events with you and our local community.
