hat's stopping us from
realizing that potential?
Why does our economy struggle
to keep pace with the rest of
the country?
Connecticut has tremendous
economic assets—world-class
companies, a skilled, educated,
productive workforce, and a
proud legacy of innovation.
Yet we're not seeing the
investment and growth we need.
Too many people, particularly
young people, are finding good
jobs elsewhere.
Independent studies and reports
constantly rank our economic
competitiveness in the bottom
tier of states.
Those rankings reflect decades
of policy decisions that increased
business costs and jeopardized
jobs and opportunities.
Connecticut faces tough
challenges. Fiscal problems,
aging transportation systems, high
energy costs, and burdensome
regulations and mandates all
hold us back. And we must to
do more to develop the talent
to meet workforce needs.
CBIA is fighting for change.
Not just for our thousands of
member companies, but for
everyone in the state.
This is about changing mindsets
and making good policy choices.
For having lawmakers consider
every legislative proposal for its
impact—positive or negative—
on our economy.
And making them understand
that real change creates an
environment of opportunity,
builds economic vitality and
prosperity, and benefits everyone.
We can do better.
We have to do better.
