A look in and around Middlesex County

Economic development in Middlesex County, Connecticut, is fueled by collaboration between community leaders, municipal officials, business owners, and volunteers who work together to attract investment, support business growth, and enhance quality of life. The county’s diverse economy—spanning manufacturing, healthcare, tourism, retail, and emerging industries—provides a strong foundation for future success.

In November 2023, the Middlesex Chamber convened an Economic Development Steering Committee to bring together development professionals and volunteers from across the county. With a collaborative approach, the Steering Committee plays a critical role in developing best practices and shaping strategic initiatives for the towns and cities in Middlesex County. Meeting monthly, the group represents all 14 towns of the Chamber.

As a companion to the Committee’s work, the Chamber produces a monthly economic development newsletter highlighting each town’s people, places, and organizations that drive economic vitality. These stories showcase the unique strengths of our communities and help promote Middlesex County as a vibrant and competitive place to live, work, and do business.
