Business Advisory Board

The Business Advisory Board (BAB) will provide recommendations and advice to the Town Council on ways the town can help business in Oak Island, provide a forum for businesses to raise issues, create a business-friendly environment, and have input into town policy and responses to these issues.
The BAB will provide input and recommendations on the Town’s Economic Development Strategy, with a particular emphasis on small business development, realization of commercial areas, business recruitment, retention, and expansion efforts, public/private partnerships, and business customer service. The BAB will keep the Town Council, the Town Manager, and Economic Development Officer abreast of conditions in the business community and how these conditions might affect business-government relations and needs for public services.

Serve as an advisory board for the town to further promote business interests in the town, to provide a coordination medium between businesses in the town, and to provide a communications path between the business community and the town government and administration.
Suggest policies and make recommendations concerning business programs and requirements to the town manager and the town council.
Serve as a link between the business community, the town manager, the town council, and the citizens of the community on matters related to business.
