Hopewell's Department of Economic Development is designed to promote the City as a business location for domestic and international companies and organizations and to assist those businesses already located in Hopewell.

The Office's emphasis is on individual attention, while providing a variety of free and confidential services. The staff prepares individualized proposals for businesses and packages services to meet their needs: for example, market information, site location, project development assistance, transportation assistance and exploration of workforce readiness initiatives. The staff serves to be a liaison, assisting locating businesses with introductions to city officials, business leaders, and to identify support services to assist new businesses, relocating or expanding existing businesses."
