Investing in
DOWNTOWN BRIDGEPORT

Bridgeport began building its reputation as a commercial center in the early days of the Industrial Revolution. By the mid 19th Century, the city's factories were turning out a variety of industrial goods destined for markets across the country and eventually around the world.

Today, while no longer a major manufacturing center, Bridgeport has gained a reputation as a leading sports and entertainment center that includes sports teams, theaters, concert halls and restaurants while also serving as home to a thriving service economy led by many leading banks and some of the state's foremost law firms.

The city provides a wealth of support for businesses who locate here, and you will find links and information about them in this section of the web site. We encourage you to explore this virtual version of downtown Bridgeport, and also pay a visit to the "bricks and mortar" version. We believe that you will be impressed with the opportunities that await businesses that choose to locate in downtown Bridgeport!
