Elizabeth Stocker, Town of Newtown
Newtown has the staff with a can do attitude and we work as a team to get businesses up and running as quickly as possible. If you don't know what utilities are available or if you don't know if the zoning is adequate for your use then give us a call and we will help you to determine that. There is not a day that goes by without a call or a visit from a Broker, an agent, a resident or a business owner who needs to know if Newtown's regulations or real estate are appropriate for their needs. The staff is proficient in its knowledge of the regulations and the real estate and can usually provide an immediate answer. We have the knowledge to assist and we are at the ready. Newtown has the right tools!
With a location in northeastern Fairfield County along Interstate 84 the Town of Newtown has commercial and industrial properties at interchanges 9, 10 and 11. I-84 is the gateway to the northeast while CT Routes 6, 25, 34 and 302 provide Newtown with excellent transportation access to lower Fairfield and New Haven Counties. In addition to major state roads, Newtown is accessible for commuters and air travel. These transportation corridors and options offer ease of access for workers, services and the shipment of goods. Newtown attracts residents and companies who recognize the benefits of this infrastructure and the proximity of this area to resources within the state.
That is why it is easy for me to help match your need with the right property. There are lots for building new facilities in Curtis Corporate Park, along Routes 6 and 25 and at the Tech Park. The compact village neighborhoods in the Borough and Sandy Hook Center provide additional options for business locations and infill development. The many restaurants, retail shops, banks, bakeries and schools combine nicely providing many choices for residents, businesses and visitors. As the key contact for commercial and industrial real estate in Newtown, I welcome your call or visit and will do my best to find you the right location. Whether you are seeking land in the Newtown Technology Park, along Route 25 or Route 6, a building lease or redevelopment options at Fairfield Hills Campus, I will help you explore. The Hawleyville section near exit 9 has several building projects with permits ready to go and many industrial buildings have space that can be leased. The options are numerous.
Should your project need permitting and review, you can count on me and the Newtown Economic Development Commission to stay with your team during the permitting process and project review. Our strategy supports local business expansions and new business development and has been a key factor in recent business growth in Newtown.
In addition to this personal attention, the commission's web site provides the tools necessary to learn more about available commercial real estate and the local business climate. Links to CERC's Site Finder allows visitors to search for properties and provides detailed data on the area labor force, housing, consumer spending and other demographic information. Our pro-business attitude is designed to help assure the growth and prosperity of your business and our community. We are committed to initiatives that promote our healthy business climate, will address concerns as needed and will work to remove barriers and help businesses grow and prosper in Newtown.
Newtown's Economic Development Commission and I are dedicated to supporting and encouraging business growth in town and are only a phone call or mouse-click away! We will help you get your business up and running as quickly as possible in the perfect Newtown location and welcome the opportunity to show you how Newtown can help your bottom line.
