 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
T ribal 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.
