ReLocate Program

Ready to Make a Move?

ReLocate is Arlington’s newest program designed to assist small businesses that want or need to move to a new location. Through ReLocate, small businesses can access a wealth of resources that include consultations and connections to help navigate the best solutions.

Through BizLaunch, small businesses can find assistance with business planning, potential existing real estate opportunities and transition considerations whether lease expiration or redevelopment are impacting the current location.

By leveraging current BizLaunch Small Business Support Services, Arlington will utilize existing resources, established relationships in the community and propose future efforts in this forward thinking approach to business relocation.
