Windsor Ranks Ninth Among Connecticut’s Commercial Markets

WINDSOR, CT — Windsor ranks ninth among Connecticut’s top 50 commercial markets in a business index highlighted in the town’s Nov. 2 town manager’s report.

The Hartford Business Journal and Yankee Institute’s Commercial Opportunity Index evaluates Connecticut municipalities using publicly available economic, financial, demographic and municipal data, according to the town report.

The report highlighted 25,444 jobs and 2,698 businesses in Windsor, along with a nonresidential tax base that accounts for 33 percent of the town’s total.

That nonresidential share is the third-highest in Connecticut, the town report states.

“This is the third highest percentage in the entire state,” the report says.

The figure describes the portion of Windsor’s tax base classified as nonresidential. It does not mean businesses pay a 33 percent tax rate.

The town report links to Hartford Business Journal’s introduction to its Best Places for Business publication for more information about the index.
