Rutgers MBA Team
Final Presentation
The Belvidere Economic Development
Committee submitted an application to become a client
of the Rutgers University MBA Team Consulting Program.
We were accepted and assigned a team of six MBA
students that would study Belvidere.
The final presentation of the
Rutgers MBA students took place at the Town Council
meeting on June 20th, 2005 at the Belvidere Municipal
Building.
The purpose of this study was
to determine what types of businesses would best
survive and prosper in our town - what can our local
economy support and build upon. We are also looking
for suggestions as to how our town can provide incentives
for prospective businesses.
Local businesses serve a necessary
function to the people who live here. They provide
jobs and services close to home as well as the personalized
touch of dealing with familiar faces, friends and
neighbors, all of which makes Belvidere a more desirable
place to live.
