Rep. Zawistowski Hosts Third Successful Bradley Development League Day at the Capitol

For the third year, more than two dozen businesses and organizations served by the Bradley Development League visited the Capitol to provide legislators and visitors an opportunity to learn more about the businesses and four towns – East Granby, Suffield, Windsor and Windsor Locks – that make up the League.

Created and organized by State Rep. Tami Zawistowski, this annual gathering has become a premier event showcasing Connecticut's incredibly diverse business community. As in previous years, there were representatives from myriad industries, including aerospace and technology, food service, manufacturing, banking, museums, athletics, and many more. Legislators and other government officials visited the event that highlighted some of the region’s business assets and attractions.

"The Bradley Development League has been and will continue to be stalwart supporters of the skilled workforce in East Granby, Suffield, Windsor, and Windsor Locks, and proponents of local business development and expansion in the region,” Rep. Tami Zawistowski said. "The Bradley region combines access to cutting edge and high-tech employment and manufacturing opportunities with an excellent quality of life, including hiking and biking trails, a winery and craft breweries, historical locations like Old Newgate Prison, farm stands and markets for fresh produce and flowers, and more. The Bradley Development League is a vital asset to the business community, local employment and continued promotion of the area's diverse assets."

According to its website, "the Bradley Development League is a consortium of four towns surrounding the airport—East Granby, Suffield, Windsor, and Windsor Locks—promoting regional economic growth and marketing more than 2,000 acres of buildable land. We’re here to help you learn about the area, find business incentives, explore suitable locations—and call our region home."
