The Hartford Area Development Corporation is pleased to announce the purchase of a Sixty-four (64) acre tract of land abutting the Dodge Industrial Park in Hartford.
In these shaky economic times, Hartford continues to see success. By selling the Innovation Center to long time tenant Key Logo, Inc. in December of 2008, which in itself is another success story, the HADC freed up funds to acquire a 40 acre parcel in February of this year and an additional 24 acres in July, 2009.
The purpose and intent of the business incubator concept is to assist start-up businesses so they can grow and graduate into building or buying their own facilities. Key Logo is another example of how this aspect of economic development is and has worked for Hartford over the years.
The marketing efforts of the HADC, to fill our Dodge Industrial Park, had left Hartford with only a few remaining parcels for sale. Long range planning indicates that the area between the Dodge and Western Industrial Parks is slotted for industrial development and we are proceeding in that direction.
The HADC has been working with businesses that are very interested in the new properties. We hope to be able to fulfill their specific needs and welcome them to our industrial community. We expect 2009 to be an exciting and challenging year as we move forward even during the Great Recession.
