Historically, all six Burlington business organizations - the Chamber of Commerce, Aldershot BIA, Burlington Economic Development Corporation, Tourism Burlington, Burlington Downtown and the City of Burlington - worked independently to better this community.  Recognizing the strong link between business and lifestyle, the creation of Team Burlington represents a strong and unified approach to the economic and community development aspects of the city.  Team Burlington enhances each organization's ability to pursue their individual objectives and at the same time provides a more seamless approach to improving business and lifestyle in Burlington.  We share a common office and a common idea:  to make doing business in Burlington easier and more productive.
