Norwich has a history as a thriving city with a stable population, wide range of enterprise and municipal services, and a positive outlook for residential and business development.

Norwich continues to build on its tradition of success. Committed to business growth, the city offers attractive manufacturing and commercial sites and the full support of city officials and staff. From old mill properties to the 450-acre Norwich Business Park, situated in a pleasant, rural setting and home to 40 businesses ranging from publishing and food distribution to manufacturers of computer components, Norwich offers a solid foundation for new businesses.

Located between the major tourist attractions of southeastern Connecticut, downtown Norwich provides a lively business atmosphere in an attractive historic maritime setting. Striking architecture and period streetscapes draw visitors and consumers to a growing number of restaurants and shops. A concerted public/private revitalization effort has generated over $50 million dollars planned for investment toward such improvements as a regional transportation center, a $19 million retail/office building to be leased by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, renovation of the historic Wauregan Hotel into rental properties, and the continuation of the 1.5 mile long riverfront Heritage Walkway development project.

Likewise, Norwich prides itself on a multi-faceted arts community, which is growing with several theaters, downtown artists’ housing and galleries.
