The Economic Development Committee spearheads several events and initiatives. These include…
Annual West Hartford Economic Development Update
Held each fall, Town of West Hartford's Economic Development Coordinator Kristen Gorski gives a thorough presentation highlighting new, renewing and future development projects in town, with a Q & A session at the conclusion. This event is a must-attend for anyone interested in the economic growth and expansion of our town.
Connecticut Business Day
This event is held each spring and organized by Connecticut Business & Industry Association (CBIA). Business leaders, chamber of commerce professionals, and stakeholders visit the capital to engage with elected officials and business focused agency partners. The goal is building a better business environment through collaboration.
Community Job & Resource Fair
Each year, the West Hartford Chamber partners with Town of West Hartford to create opportunity for local businesses and nonprofits to find qualified candidates to fill open positions. Organizations such as Capital Workforce Partners and American Job Center participate to share the various programs and resources they provide for both businesses and job seekers.
