The Upper Hanover Township Industrial Development Authority consists of five members appointed by the Board of Supervisors for five year terms.

The Authority acts to broker low interest loans to encourage development of new businesses in the area. As a government entity, the Authority can obtain loans at lower rates since the interest is tax-free. The interest savings can be passed on to businesses to encourage new or expanded job opportunities for citizens in Upper Hanover Township and the greater Upper Perkiomen Valley.

This Board is charged with the ongoing assessment, monitoring and support of existing Upper Hanover Township Industries and the seeking and attracting of new, appropriate industries to the Township to provide new employment opportunities and to insure a successful, thriving, industrial base.

The Board meets the second Monday of the last month of each quarter at 7:00.
