Professionals there will be able to help you understand the process for each respective location and help you walk through the steps with clarity and direction.
As a general rule, the Mayor, City Clerk, and/or City Administrator in each town will be able to help you figure out where to start. The process is dependent upon what your needs are as a prospective business owner--financial needs, mentoring needs, property needs, workforce needs, technology needs, etc.
