Here at the Village office we administer and issue business licences. Unique types of businesses may require additional planning or other permits to operate – our Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) will be happy to advise you in this regard. Schedule an appointment to discuss your business venture with our CAO early in your planning process, to take advantage of our expertise and assistance.
