Bowden.  Aims.  High. 

We are Open for Business!

Bowden is a "friendly, caring, excellent, family oriented community that combines small town charm with big city access".

Our strategic aim is to expand and continue to develop the Town as an affordable and cost-effective economic hub within the region.

We are one of the region’s most affordable community.

Our vision is to:

  • create new housing plans that provide options for seniors, families, and young people 
  • revitalize downtown occupancy with mixed use retail and residential enterprises

We encourage entrepreneurs to start up, develop and expand their business within the Town.
