Southeastern Vermont

Anchored by the towns of Brattleboro, Springfield, and Hartford, Windham and Windsor counties offer great opportunities for both businesses and families. Quaint towns like Woodstock and Norwich look like traditional small towns—but many are surprised to know major employers like King Arthur Baking Company, Simon Pearce, The Richards Group, and Vermont Farmstead Cheese Company and many more are there too, offering an opportunity for work/life balance that’s hard to find anywhere else.

Springfield originally was a New England mill town but now has some of the fastest broadband in the country and is transforming into an innovation hub. This wicked fast broadband allows the Black River Innovation Campus to offer a unique opportunity for digital entrepreneurs and businesses. Springfield and its surrounding towns also host numerous manufacturers like Ivek Corporation, Vermont Timber Works, and ImageTek MFG. Artisans Park is a campus of smaller food manufacturers that also draws tourists year round.

Hartford’s prime location at the intersection of Interstates 89 and 91 makes it easily accessible from all directions. Hartford has the distinction of containing within it five unique villages: Hartford, Quechee, West Hartford, White River Junction and Wilder, each with its own personality. Quechee (pronounced “kwee-chee”) is home to beautiful Quechee Gorge, sometimes called Vermont’s own Grand Canyon. White River Junction’s bustling downtown features great shops and restaurants, the Center for Cartoon Studies, and premier arts center Northern Stage. White River Junction also is home to Vermont’s VA Medical Center. Like nearby Springfield, Hartford and its surrounding towns also enjoy high speed internet, provided by ECFiber, a local communications union district bringing connectivity to thousands of residents.
