The MetroHartford Alliance's 2011 Annual Celebration was held February 17 at the Bushnell Theatre in Hartford. Over 300 people came out to celebrate the Alliance's 10th anniversary. The Alliance is the Hartford Region's Economic Development Leader and Hartford's Chamber of Commerce. Formed in 2001, the Alliance united the business expertise of Hartford's Chamber (founded in 1799) and the economic development leadership of the MetroHartford Economic Growth Council to create the region's leading business and economic development organization. www.metrohartford.com
