About Alton Business Association
Who We Are
Our Mission Statement: The Alton Business Association (ABA) is a local association of business people organized to promote the commercial interests and welfare of Alton, New Hampshire and bordering communities, by providing information and assistance to new and existing businesses located in Alton and surrounding areas, and by working with members of the community and municipal representatives to promote local economic development and enhanced quality of life for the benefit of present and future residents, businesses and visitors.
What We Do
The Alton Business Association is dedicated to supporting our local business community by providing opportunities for visibility, growth, and connection. Through community event participation, sponsorships, and ongoing member support, we help showcase our members’ businesses and create meaningful ways for them to engage with our surrounding community. All of the things that we do are through the generosity and involvement of our members and volunteers.
