History
The BDC was formed in 1995 by the Town of Brunswick as a local development corporation. In 2013, the Board of Directors determined that the organization should move towards independence from local government. In 2017, BDC obtained its 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit status, allowing the organization to seek private funds and further its mission.
