Business directory
Public directory of local businesses on your .gov — searchable, mapped, multilingual. Owners claim and maintain their own listing. Built for economic development.
Public business directory with category filters and self-claim flow, on the .gov resident portal.
A public-facing business directory on your resident portal at yourtown.gov — searchable, multilingual, with category and map views. Built for economic development: not every town issues business licenses, but every town benefits from helping residents and visitors find local businesses. Owners claim their listing with a one-time email verification, then maintain hours, photos, descriptions, and categories themselves. Towns running Business Licensing can optionally tie the directory to the active-license roster for an authoritative list; standalone is the default.
