The City of Newport is “Open for Business” and welcomes you to check out our economic development website where you will find a wealth of information.  Newport, a community of 4600 residents, is located on the southern tip beautiful Lake Memphremagog in northern Vermont. Our community is located within driving distance of Montreal, Quebec Canada and Boston.

Newport offers incentives for business development and is on the cutting edge of permit/zoning requirements.  We became the first in the State of Vermont to have zoning based on form vs. use thus making the permitting process much easier. Our staff is friendly and always ready to help you with your questions and or through the permitting process. The Northeastern Vermont Development Association is our regional planning group and they are here to help you locate and or relocate your business to our community.

I invite you to experience Newport first-hand, the clean air, beautiful scenery, the many amenities and recreational activities from boating to skiing.  Newport is truly like none other and you’ll easily see our community is ideal for locating your business here.

Sincerely,

Paul L. Monette
Mayor
