Economic Development
Targeted investment in our downtown, regional partnerships, and a steady welcome for entrepreneurs.
The Town partners with Yadkin County and regional economic development organizations to support small businesses, attract new investment, and improve the public infrastructure that helps both happen.

Boonville is a practical, welcoming place to start, relocate, or grow a business in Yadkin County. The Town supports local economic development through responsive permitting, downtown investment, regional partnerships, and connections to resources for entrepreneurs and property owners.
A business-friendly location in the Yadkin Valley
Boonville offers the visibility of a small-town Main Street with access to the broader Yadkin Valley economy. Local shops, service businesses, restaurants, wineries, farms, and visitor-focused businesses all help strengthen the community and create reasons for people to spend more time in town.
Support for property owners and entrepreneurs
Whether you are opening a storefront, improving a building, exploring available sites, or planning a downtown investment, the Town can help point you toward the right next step. Business owners should start early with zoning, signage, utility, and permit questions so the opening process is easier to manage.
Regional partners and resources
Boonville works within a larger regional network that includes Yadkin County economic development organizations, the Yadkin County Chamber of Commerce, Business Link North Carolina, and the North Carolina Department of Commerce. These partners can help with business planning, workforce connections, demographic information, and site selection research.
