Newton rolls out business registry

Newton businesses will receive a letter and information in the coming days about the City’s new Newton Business Registry.

The purpose of the registry is to streamline local businesses’ administrative work with the City by establishing a single record of contact information and licensing and permit needs. For example, this registry would have been extremely helpful in recent years as the City was rolling out information about COVID-relief grants available to businesses.

There is no fee for the registration, and it is not mandatory to operate a business in Newton.

The registry was created by the City Commission through the recommendation of the Choose Newton Community Development Commission.

Business owners can fill out the form included with the letter and return it to City Hall, 201 E. 6th St., or submit it online at www.newtonkansas.com/registry.
