Business Development Team

In order to help businesses who are looking to locate or grow in Sturgis, the City has created the Business Development Team (BDT). The BDT is designed to provide a single point of contact to individuals looking to develop a business, while at the same time providing the expertise of City staff and economic development partners on issues related to zoning, building, utilities, grants, financing, etc. 

The BDT will work with each prospective business on a case-by-case basis, providing information on what to expect regarding regulations, site development, and more. The goal is to provide tailored information that will help move the business through the government process as seamlessly as possible. To schedule an appointment or for more information contact us at [email protected].
