Wallingford Econ. Dev. Comm. - www.town.wallingford.ct.us

As a community, Wallingford, Connecticut, is most interested in attracting and retaining business. Our strategic Southern New England location along I-91 North/South offers suburban sites with highway frontage and easy access to a market area that includes one-third of our nation’s buying power, retail sales, and manufacturing firms. In addition, Wallingford’s municipally owned electric company consistently maintains one of the lowest electric rates in New England, while the town’s mill rate is one of the lowest in our region. Besides economic considerations, there are a host of quality-of-life advantages that companies in Wallingford enjoy and value. An excellent school system, a stable town government, and quality work force add to our favorable business climate.
