About the Greenfield Business Association

Greenfield Business Association Logo

The mission of the GBA is to promote the economic and civic vitality of the Greenfield business community, and to encourage a unified revitalization effort among all segments of the community in order to foster a community of businesses for an economically sound future in Greenfield.

Since 1938, the Greenfield Business Association has actively promoted Greenfield, MA, as a destination for the people of Franklin County and beyond to visit, shop, dine and conduct business. We help local businesses attract their target audience, and promote public awareness of the strong business community that continues to serve Franklin County.

The GBA is an active association of businesses, organizations and community members dedicated to making the region's future even better than its past.
