About the Greenfield Business Association
The Greenfield Business Association (GBA) exists to strengthen the economic and civic vitality of Greenfield by uniting businesses, nonprofit organizations, arts and culture partners, residents, and visitors around a shared vision for a thriving, lively community.
Since 1938, the GBA has championed Greenfield as the commercial and cultural heart of Franklin County - promoting the city as a destination to visit, shop, dine, invest, and explore. We work to attract and support businesses, connect them with new opportunities and audiences, and elevate the people, places, and experiences that make Greenfield a vibrant place to live, work, and do business.
Today, the GBA is a collaborative network of businesses, nonprofit organizations, community leaders, and engaged residents working together and advocating regionally to shape Greenfield's next chapter. Through partnership, promotion, and placemaking, we are building a stronger local economy and a more connected, welcoming community for generations to come.
