Success StoriesEast Hartford has a long, proud history of success achieved through hard work, commitment and innovation. From our origins as a farming community…to our growth as a home for defense and aerospace industries…to today’s growth in fuel cell research, photonics and other emerging technologies, East Hartford has a solid track record of working in partnership with business. ....................................................................................................................... Goodwin College, our premier workforce development institution, was granted accreditation in 2004 by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Goodwin College is the fastest-growing institution of its size in Connecticut, and to that end the college has purchased over 700 acres of property and has built a new $90 million riverfront campus on 30 of those acres between Route 2 and the Connecticut River in East Hartford. This expansion enables the college to respond to the needs of the region’s employers by providing a skilled workforce for high-demand jobs. The Town supported this important brownfields redevelopment by providing grants for assessment and clean-up of their site. ....................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................... Cabela’s 185,000 sq ft destination retail center was permitted in under two months, thanks to the town’s Planning & Zoning and Inland Wetlands Commissions, which held joint public hearings to expedite the process. .......................................................................................................................
