Businesses

Westbrook's early economy was centered around agricultural and forestry, but over the past two decades has developed its economic base to include high technology, retail and distribution. Employment growth continues to be strong and steady in the Westbrook area, largely because of the extensive network of business resources and the strong support the business community receives from local, regional and state government.

Economic Development

Westbrook's Economic Development Program is designed to develop partnerships in the community and within the City's organization to strengthen and enhance Westbrook's business environment and economic well-being.

The program is structured to provide assistance to a wide range of businesses in different industries. A special part of the program is geared towards people interested in starting their own business.

The program also manages the City's federally funded programs benefiting low and moderate income persons - the DECH and HOUSES programs.

Summer Fest

Westbrook's Summer Fest Parade began over 46 years ago and has grown into a Westbrook tradition. In 2003, Westbrook's Summer Fest Parade and Westbrook Summer Fest together brought you a weekend of fun. The Summer Fest was held July 18-20 and the parade was on Saturday, July 19. The 2003 parade was proudly presented by Westbrook Hewlett Motors and supported by the Westbrook Times, Westbrook Way, the City of Westbrook Park & Recreation Committee.
