Eastern Connecticut truly is a microcosm of New England. Our industry
ranges from large employers such as Electric Boat Corporation (Groton)
and Pfizer (Groton and New London), to small, single-employee enterprises,
to the world's largest casinos (Foxwoods in Ledyard and The Mohegan
Sun in Uncasville). We have miles of beautiful coastline and acres
of wooded retreats.
Our transportation network includes two interstate highways, SEAT
bus service, an airport, passenger and freight rail service and a
deep-water port.
The Garde Arts Center, located in New London, has hosted such renowned
performances as Tony Bennett, Itzhak Perleman and Bob Dylan, as well
as touring Broadway productions. The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center
in Waterford sponsors a wide variety of artistic venues. In addition,
our region is centrally located within an hour drive of Providence,
R.I. and Yale/New Haven as well as a two hour drive to both Boston
and New York.
Norwich's Dodd Stadium is home to the Connecticut Defenders, the Double-A
affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. The Mohegan Sun Arena is the

Connecticut Sun, the women's basketball team featuring two University

Most of the cities and towns throughout eastern Connecticut operate
their own public schools, keeping the system responsive to local needs.
Higher education opportunities range from two-year institutions such
as Mitchell College (New London) and Three Rivers Community Technical
College (Norwich), to the University of New Haven (New Haven and several
off-site locations), the University of Connecticut (Storrs and Groton)
and Connecticut College (New London), all offering undergraduate programs,
as well as the United States Coast Guard Academy (also in New London).
We are delighted you have chosen eastern Connecticut for your new
home. If you have any questions about our region and what it has to
offer, or if we may be of any further assistance to you please do
not hesitate to call on us.
