MVMB.biz is a pioneering concept for new and existing businesses in the Merrimack Valley. Developed by the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission (MVPC), in partnership with the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), the Merrimack Valley Economic Development Council (MVEDC), regional Chambers of Commerce, and community development departments, MVMB offers a unique and technologically advanced service for prospective and existing businesses looking to market or expand in the region. The only comprehensive, field-based inventory of properties in Massachusetts, the website offers valuable information on over 11,500 businesses and 500 locations for sale or lease in the Valley, using the latest mapping and imaging technologies.
The interactive website allows users to conduct qualitative online geographic research on key location factors, including:
• Quality of workforce;
• Consumer buying habits;
• Tax incentives and enterprise zoning;
• Transportation access; and
• Detailed property attributes on space available for sale or lease.
Additionally, high resolution, oblique aerial images using the Planning Commission’s Pictometry Image Warehouse System is available for each business and property location. This interactive imaging system is a first-of-its-kind tool offered on a business and property information website.
