The "Mission Statement for the Town of Wilmington" is as follows: "The Town of Wilmington, as a municipal corporation, exists in order to deliver a wide range of municipal services to those who live, work or own property within the borders of Wilmington; and in order to make this community a good place to live, to work, and to raise and educate a family, those services must be responsive to the needs of the people. They must be effective and efficient. Principles of honesty, fairness, dependability and compassion must govern the actions of the officials and the employees of the Town. Those who work for the Town as employees or as members of boards, committees and commissions are recognized as its most important resource and the key to its success in serving the people of Wilmington." Endorsed by the Board of Selectmen May 22, 1989. -1- Town of Wilmington PHONE: (978) 658-3311 Office of the Board of Selectmen FAX: (978) 658-3334 121 Glen Road TTY: (978) 694-1417 Wilmington, MA 01887-3597 WWW.WILMINGTONMA.GOV Dear Fellow Resident: On behalf of the Board of Selectmen, it is my privilege and honor to highlight the issues and work the Board engaged in during calendar year 2018. The Town’s educated work force, location and access to Boston and many of the region’s educational, medical and technology centers continue to make Wilmington a desired location to conduct business. Economic development was a theme that was addressed on multiple occasions throughout the year. In January, Analog Devices approached the Board about the prospect of expanding its Wilmington campus. As Wilmington’s largest employer and a world leader in the design and production of integrated circuits, this proposal presented a tremendous opportunity. Wilmington was one of several locations under consideration for expansion both within and outside of the United States. Given the scale of the corporate investment, Analog Devices requested the Town enter into a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) agreement which would serve to defray some of their costs associated with expansion. Members of the Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee and staff participated in negotiations over several months which led to an agreement approved at the May 5, 2018 Annual Town Meeting.
