About BDCC

The Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation (BDCC), is a private, nonprofit economic development organization that serves as a catalyst for industrial and commercial growth throughout Southeastern Vermont, including Windham County and the towns of Readsboro, Searsburg, Weston, and Winhall.

Our goal is to assist start-up companies, growing companies, and global businesses alike, in order to support continued success stories in our region.

BDCC is affiliated with the State of Vermont as the certified Regional Development Corporation (RDC) serving the greater Windham County area. BDCC is one of 12 RDCs throughout Vermont.

The Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation (BDCC) is dedicated to assisting start-up companies, growing companies, and global businesses alike, in order to support continued success stories in our region. Our primary objective is to create and retain a flourishing business community that supports vibrant fiscal activity, and improves the quality of life of all its residents.

As one of 12 certified Vermont Regional Development Corporations (RDCs), we serve the following towns in Southeastern Vermont: Athens, Bellows Falls, Brattleboro, Brookline, Dover, Dummerston, Grafton, Guilford, Halifax, Jamaica, Londonderry, Marlboro, Newfane, Putney, Readsboro, Rockingham, Searsburg, Somerset, Stratton, Townshend, Vernon, Wardsboro, Westminster, Weston, Whitingham, Wilmington, Windham, and Winhall.

We provide business, real estate and workforce expertise to help you create a business, relocate your business, or grow your business in Southeastern Vermont.

BDCC works closely with several Business Assistance Partners at the local, state, and federal levels to provide business mentoring and advising services for every occasion. We can help you with risk assessment, financial projections, funding resources, marketing strategy, and engineering assistance, just to name some of the topics we cover.

We also can offer you guidance and connections for available Financing and Incentive resources that could work for you, such as revolving loan funds, state development banking, and tax incentive programs.

Since 1954, we have been at the hub of economic progress in the Windham County area, so we know the in’s and out’s of doing business in this region. We can help you build or enhance relationships at the local, state, and federal levels to better achieve your business goals. Whether its managerial, technical, regulatory, and/or financial guidance you need, we can help you make the best decisions for your new, existing, or relocating business.

Could your company benefit from lower manufacturing costs and higher productivity? What company couldn’t! No matter what size company you currently are, or plan to become, we can help connect you with manufacturing assistance and training possibilities to improve your company’s operations and increase competitiveness.

We are always looking at new ways to provide support and guidance for entrepreneurs. Several ways in which we already do so include our annual BDCC Business Plan Competition and information on opportunities for free or affordable education and training for businesses.

Will you be needing to rent commercial space? BDCC owns and manages an Act 250-approved industrial park and two business parks/incubators in Brattleboro. We would be happy to talk with you to see if any of the space fits your company’s needs or to help connect you with real estate opportunities in the region.

For other commercial space that might be available for rent or purchase, the Vermont Department of Economic Development has a useful tool online called the Vermont Commercial/Industrial Site Locator.
