Hartford turns 400 in 2035.
What can we accomplish between now and then?
If we take full advantage of our extraordinary location, we can become the green, river-centered crossroads of New England.
If we increase our population and density, and expand our workforce and knowledge economy, we can become one of the nation’s most prosperous regions.
If we continue to increase our housing choices, density, and neighborhood investment, we can become a model of equity, diversity, opportunity, and affordable livability.
If we continue our shift from car-dependence to broad-based mobility, we can become a walkable, bikeable, transit-oriented network of town and city centers.
If we continue to enhance our centers, connect our assets, and tell our story, we can become a national magnet for arts, culture, and recreation.
Hartford400 will work to ensure that its stakeholders ambitious projects succeed, making the region more sustainable, prosperous, equitable, mobile, and vibrant.
We will work to strengthen our stakeholders' resolve, post-pandemic, to help restore the social, cultural and physical fabric of the region.
Hartford400 is a coalition of the region’s major organizations, working together to forge a comprehensive, river-centered vision and action plan for the valley and its capital city, one that integrates our environmental, economic, social, transportation, and cultural aspirations.
