Known as the “Park City,” Bridgeport’s contemporary testament to its ecologically rooted moniker is its green-industry leadership. It is home to a number of businesses focusing on green energy and sustainable solutions. To say the city is well situated for development is an understatement. Businesses are attracted by its convenient access to land and water modes of transportation including rail, bus and ferry. Rental units have flourished over the past several years, and many more are planned among the lucrative investment possibilities the city offers.

About: EAST HAVEN The personification of a quaint New England town, East Haven is located near Tweed-New Haven Airport and Yale University. While one lures crowds to the region and the other literally brings them here, East Haven is a perfect stopping point for tourists. Other nearby attractions are Mystic Seaport and Aquarium and Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos. While being a home base from which to visit these locales is an option, East Haven maintains the characteristic of being its own attraction. Among can’t-miss visits is the Shore Line Trolley Museum.

Fairfield
Its workforce is among the most educated in the state, its economy is potent, and its access to transportation is excellent (the town is a stop on the Metro North commuter rail line). With those advantages and more, it is little wonder that Fairfield is one of Connecticut’s most desirable places to live and work. The downtown business community is at once eclectic and complementary. Restaurants and national retailers share the downtown area with distinctive shops and other small businesses. But there’s comfortable room for more, and Fairfield offers an array of investment opportunities.

About: GUILFORD A bustling community within the framework of a small town, Guilford is a suburban town-of-choice for businesses and residents alike, who enjoy its proximity to New York and Boston, as well as its closeness to educational institutions, companies and historic sites in nearby New Haven. But Guilford has its own such draws, like the Town Green – one of the largest in New England and the site of activities such as high school graduations, community fairs and even local weddings. Shops, eateries, galleries and museums surround it, helping to make Guilford an ideal place to have a home and maintain a business.

Others have taken note: Hamden is a welcoming place for business activity. The town has been named by CNN Money.com as one of the 100 places in America to live and start a small business. There are numerous reasons for that distinction: the town offers tax abatements, grants and other incentives for relocation and expansion. It has a Business Cluster program that assists with development and other needs, and its Business Assistance Center helps companies with financial considerations such as credit evaluation and business plans. Trails, parks and cultural activities are among Hamden’s diverse community assets.

About: MADISON Historically modern is how Madison might be described. The history can be seen in its Green-centered townscape and its architecture, preserved over centuries of infrastructural upgrades and changes. Many buildings are long-term residents, having adjusted to the town’s progressive needs by expanding and adding space rather than giving way to possible demolition. The arts are extremely important to town residents, and meticulous effort is put into planning and executing wellattended community fairs and concerts; an aspect among many that make Madison a great place to live and work.

Home to Yale, Southern Connecticut State University, Albertus Magnus College and Gateway Community College, New Haven could easily be content with being a “college town.” It would rather be known as a “world-class city,” however, and its business activity over the past few years certainly supports that. The 100 College St. complex, new restaurants and retailers -- many of them national brands -- and an innovation hub for entrepreneurs help cement that world-class description. New Haven has a vigorous rate of growth, and is intent of providing economic, social and cultural incentives that attract businesses to the city.

About: NAUGATUCK Mention Naugatuck years ago, and the word “rubber” likely would come to mind. In fact, Naugatuck was known as the Rubber Capital of the World. That was then. Now, the town is host to financial institutions and high-tech manufacturers. It has excellent schools and affordable homes, two characteristics that are ideal for families looking for an optimal bedroom community. With convenient access to rail and highway transportation, Naugatuck is a great place for businesses looking for a home as well.

About: NO. BRANFORD There is growth in the charming, rural community of North Branford. Route 80, a major thoroughfare, is being expanded and the town expects to widen its business activity as a result of the project. It’s possible to get in on the ground floor, as economic development studies help determine the best uses for the area. North Branford is also close to interstates 95 and 91, making access even more convenient. North Branford wholeheartedly supports retail and commercial development, and looks forward to hearing from businesses interested in growing with the town.

About: ORANGE New England simplicity, thriving business activity and easy access are among the town of Orange’s amenities. The easy access is the result of its proximity to both the Merritt Parkway and I-95. Corporate residents and neighbors such as United Illuminating, Aurora Products, Southern Connecticut Gas and Yale’s West Campus contribute to a healthy local economy. There’s room for more, as there are a number of sites ripe for development along Marsh Hill Corridor and Boston Post Road. The town has much to offer, and inquiries are welcome.

Stratford doesn’t take its pledge to be a business-friendly community in stride. It actively helps businesses that seek to make the town their home feel welcome and comfortable, offering help with site choice and thorough guidance with such procedures as assessment and approval processes. Natural resources such as an 18-mile coastline, bucolic parks and recreational facilities are also available to all.

About: WEST HAVEN
A beachfront community, West Haven is so family friendly that four years ago BusinessWeek designated it the “Best Place in Connecticut to Raise Your Kids.” That 3.5-mile area of beachfront is situated off I-95 and near Metro North commuter railroad. In fact, West Haven is the newest stop on the commuter line, with a brand new station having recently opened. The city is home to the Yale West Campus, University of New Haven and Veteran Affairs Medical Center. There are a number of lucrative business developments, and the city welcomes new projects and developers.
