Enfield Business Park Attracts New Developments with Statewide Support
Bringing Green Business to the Knowledge Corridor
Enfield, CT (Vocus) January 5, 2010 -- Recently renamed Enfield Business Park, a world-class, five-building
campus spread over 115-acres in the Hartford bedroom community of 46,000, is attracting new developments
with statewide support.
“The strongest interest has been from those in alternative energy lines of business,” says Raymond Warren,
director of the town of Enfield’s Economic Development Department. “Often times with vacant industrial
buildings similar in size to those at Enfield Business Park, there are environmental problems. That’s not the case
with the LEGO facilities. The site is in excellent working order. That substantially reduces the risk that any
company has, and improves the timing of it because there isn’t damage to the existing buildings.”
“Eppendorf Manufacturing recently expanded their operations in Enfield,” continues Warren. “They had the
choice to go anywhere in the world, and they looked at a number of places in the U.S. to site their operation. They
committed to Enfield because of its easy access to Boston and New York as well as a reasonable labor supply in
the area.”
Enfield Business Park features easy access to Interstate 91 and Bradley International Airport in nearby Windsor
Locks. In addition to its location, the facility offers a combination of assets that includes solid infrastructure, a
low-cost operating environment, and the proximity of a strong labor pool. Of the available facilities, the bulk is
prime warehouse and distribution space. The distribution center features 48-foot ceilings, one of the highest
clearances in the region, and 56 dock doors. The manufacturing facility features a 587,736-square-foot industrial
property that can be easily subdivided to 56,000 square feet.
Last July, CODA Battery Systems, a joint venture between California-based Coda Automotive and
Connecticut-based Yardney Technical Products, announced plans to produce
