  Message From Our New

 Executive Director

I am pleased to report that the transition has gone smoothly after Paul retired in January.

 

I am also pleased to announce that I have signed up 20 new members since my appointment as Executive Director.

 

I continue working with the City Council on changing the ordinance on water and sewer rates for down town businesses and residents to be billed separately.

  

Whether you are a WBA member or not, our organization is here to ensure that, as a business owner, you are treated fairly by our city government agencies.
  

I believe there is no other organization in Woburn or the surrounding area that dedicates the time and interest in our business community than the Woburn Business Association.
