Our Strategies
- Strengthen the Region’s economic base through the expansion of existing businesses, the recruitment of others, and the creation of new ones.
- Lead the development of a Regional Stewardship model to establish a common agenda for the Region focused on sustainable economic growth that generates jobs and increases per capita income.
- Design and implement an effective communication and marketing strategy that clearly articulates the Region’s assets to businesses, residents, visitors, and opinion leaders and that supports the Alliance’s mission to increase jobs in the Region.
- Work with the Mayor of Hartford and the City Council and with business and civic leaders on actions that strengthen the economic activity of all of Hartford’s neighborhoods so that Hartford thrives as the dynamic core of the Region.
