Our Letter of Introduction to the Croton Community

Dear Croton Community.

We are thrilled to introduce the newly formed Association of Business in Croton (ABC), a collaborative network created to strengthen local connections and celebrate everything that makes our village special.

Our mission is to unite like-minded business owners who believe in supporting one another, enhancing the local economy, and creating a thriving, vibrant community. By working together, we can make a greater impact for our businesses and for the residents we proudly serve.

Going forward, we will be hosting the All-Business Meetings at the Village and look forward to introducing ourselves to you in person. These gatherings will offer opportunities to share ideas, explore partnerships, and learn more about upcoming community initiatives.

While we will collaborate with the Croton Business Council (CBC), the Association of Business in Croton (ABC) is a separate organization with the same shared goal of strengthening the local business community. ABC will do so through a different structure that includes a website, social media, membership opportunities and expands the participation in community engagement.

As part of ABC, members will be involved in community events, local initiatives, and shared opportunities that showcase the heart of Croton’s business community. Together, we can build meaningful relationships, increase visibility, and help Croton continue to grow and prosper.

While we finalize our official status, we are happy to introduce the officers who will help lead this organization forward.
