2024 BOOK OF LISTS | HARTFORDBUSINESS.COM 3 W elcome to our 2024 Book of Lists publi- cation, a resource guide for the state's business community. As we head into a new year, much uncertainty exists around the state and U.S. economies. Concerns about a potential recession still exist, while others are more optimistic about the year ahead. That makes HBJ's Book of Lists all the more relevant as it helps inform the state's business, civic and nonprofit leaders as they plan and strategize for 2024. Our hope is that you will use this book as a reference guide, and that the industry listings and contacts will assist you in your daily business decisions. As you comb through the 46 lists in this year's book, you'll find a wide range of industries covered. If you need a new accountant or lawyer, we've identified the largest firms. If you are looking for an ad agency or real estate broker, we've got you covered there as well. I'd like to thank our Research Director Stephanie Meagher and Research Assistant Heide Martin for their work on this publication. They had the challenging task of gathering the data and putting together the lists. If you think your company belongs on any of these lists, please let us know. You can contact Stephanie Meagher at smeagher@nebusinessmedia.com. In the meantime, we wish you luck, good health and prosperity in the year ahead.
