St. Johnsbury has been a regional hub for culture and commerce in Northeastern Vermont for well over a century and continues to offer a welcoming business climate for new and established businesses. Today, Interstates 91 and 93, State Routes 2 and 5, and freight rail infrastructure continue to support St. Johnsbury’s centrality.
Although St. Johnsbury has access to major transportation infrastructure that supports larger commercial developments, it also maintains the historic integrity of its 19th century downtown, recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Businesses in St. Johnsbury receive technical support from Discover St. Johnsbury staff, and those located within the Designated Downtown District have access to a host of tax credits that reward business owners for making capital investments in their business properties.
