Local & State Business Incentive Programs

Plainville wants to help you grow. Whether you are already located in Town or want to relocate to Plainville, we offer several business incentive programs:

EDA Revolving Loan Program: The Town's Economic Development Agency (EDA) can consider business loans up to $50,000 to help small businesses start up, expand, or relocate to Plainville. The loan program can be used for a variety of purposes including beautification efforts, plant expansion, capital purchases, employee hiring and more. A more in-depth program narrative can be found here, and an application can be found here.

EDA Tax Incentive Program: The Town's Economic Development Agency (EDA) offers a tax abatement program to attract new business and industry to the Town. Abatements are applied to local taxes on real property. Within limits established by State statute, members of the EDA can vote to propose an abatement percentage based on the amount of business investment, job creation, site use, future tax value, and overall benefit to the Town.
