Economic Development Tamworth (EDT) is pleased to present our new website! We've created this site to be helpful to several different groups that include local businesses and service providers, residents, visitors and potential business owners.

Local business owners who serve the tourist industry will benefit from being included on the Visitors pages, and on the brochures and cards distributed throughout the area. All local businesses will hopefully find new customers who have used the Tamworth Business List.

Tamworth residents will find many diverse and useful tools. To help our citizens keep it local when possible, our many businesses and services are listed under the Business List tab. Check the right column on the Business page for emergency contact numbers. There you will also see a quick reference section for new residents that includes contact information for gas, electric, phone, vehicle registration, school registration and other necessary services.

Visitors to our area will discover valuable information on things to do and places to sleep, eat and shop in Tamworth by clicking on the Visitors tab.

Potential business owners who see the beauty and charm of our area as the perfect setting for their venture, can explore pertinent information on the EDT News page.

The EDT News page has in-depth stories about our recent accomplishments such as Tamwireless that can provide broadband throughout the town, our visitors brochure and cards, the Tamworth business and services list for all households in town….and this website! There will also be news about our present and future projects and goals.

Economic Development Tamworth hopes you find this website useful. Let us know what you think by emailing us at edt@tamworthnh.net. Good ideas are always welcome!
