Starting, Operating or Promoting a Business in Washington
Business owners should match the property address to the correct municipality before applying for zoning, construction, signage or other local approvals.
Downtown properties, Washington Avenue businesses and other Borough locations may require Borough zoning, construction, sign, fire or licensing review depending on the proposed use.
Route 31, Route 57 and other Township properties are governed by Township land-use and zoning requirements. Commercial, highway-commercial, office/research and industrial districts are part of the local zoning framework.
The downtown BID works on economic vitality, events, promotion and the public-facing identity of Washington’s central business district.
Opening a new business in an existing space may still trigger zoning, occupancy, fire, construction or signage requirements. Confirm approvals before signing a lease or beginning alterations.
