Hartford among Forbes best places for business and careers!

Hartford finished 55 out of 150 U.S. cities, gaining especially high marks for educational attainment. Noting that “the talents and experience of people draw ambitious companies” to a city, Forbes paid particular attention to Hartford’s high weighted average of advanced and bachelor’s degrees.

The inclusion on Forbes’ Best Places for Business and Careers list indicates Hartford’s vision is rapidly becoming reality, according to Harry Freeman, HEDC’s executive director. “We are delighted Forbes has recognized what we in Hartford know to be true – this city is a fabulous place in which to live and work,” he said.
