East Hartford Works for Business

East 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.

Corporate Translations, one of the leading providers of translation solutions to the pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech industries, recently made the move to East Hartford. Their new home, 9,890 sq ft of professional office space, houses 53 editorial, managerial and sales staff members, who support the more than 400 freelance translators Corporate Translations also employs.

The town’s central location was a major draw for the company, which already has plans to expand into another 2,500 sq ft of available space and add another 15 in-house employees over the next few years.

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.

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 recently purchased over 300 acres of property and plans to build 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 supports this important brownfields redevelopment by providing grants for assessment and clean-up of their site.
