In an effort to best understand the needs of local businesses, the Cape Elizabeth Town Council has authorized Town Manager Patrick Fox to enter into a contract with Greater Portland Council of Governments (GPCOG) to assist in the facilitation of business outreach.  Paul Johnson, Economic Development Director for GPCOG, will lead this work with assistance from GPCOG’s community engagement team.

Over the next two weeks, Johnson will contact business owners operating within Cape Elizabeth. Through individual conversations, Johnson will gather input pertaining to local regulations, economic development efforts, and the overall business climate.  Information will be presented and discussed at a future forum in December.

Johnson will contact businesses listed within the Assessing Department’s list of taxed businesses.  To guarantee that Johnson is able to reach you, please consider emailing him with your business contact information at:  pjohnson@gpcog.org
