“I’m a local guy who is excited to now be in New Bedford full-time. I love what’s going on and I have been looking for the opportunity to get involved in a bigger way. Cisco Brewers is a lifestyle brand that every town wants, but we love and believe in New Bedford, and we’re going large in this great seaport city. Cisco New Bedford will bring great food, drinks, and entertainment in a cool beachy scene!”

“Acorn continues to invest in this great community because of New Bedford’s leadership and its commitment to bolstering a vibrant community. From the Mayor’s office to the City Council to every City department, New Bedford’s leadership is unwavering and truly devoted to furthering the City’s growth and greatness.”

“We are a family company with deep roots in the city and when we needed to expand we wanted to stay in New Bedford. The Business Park was a perfect fit for us and throughout the process we came to count on City Hall, the NBEDC, and the Industrial Foundation as true partners to local business.”

"South Coast Rail will soon be a reality, finally re-connecting the region to Boston. The construction contracts have been awarded and work is beginning in earnest. The continued support from everyone in New Bedford has helped achieve this important infrastructure achievement, which promises to create economic opportunity and open new doors for a future of smart growth.”

“The Greater New Bedford Industrial Foundation is proud of the work that has been done in the park over the past couple of years, and we could not have done it without the support and management of staff of the NBEDC. In spite of COVID-19 challenges, the NBEDC has helped to ensure that Business Park companies stay informed and not miss a beat during these difficult times.”

“The NBEDC is always on the cutting edge in support of growing our local economy. EforAll South Coast is delighted to be a founding partner of New Bedford Sourcelink, which will help entrepreneurs to access all of the resources available in one website. I look forward to the referrals to our Accelerator programs coming from this partnership as well as the ongoing support entrepreneurs will be able to access.”

“The New Bedford Economic Development Council has been working relentlessly to keep small businesses afloat, by connecting them with the Small Business Administration support programs, and by making short term capital available through our loan program and CARES Act funds.”
