1 3 6 H a r t f o r d MetroHartford Alliance The MetroHartford Alliance is Hartford's Chamber of Commerce and the Hartford Region's Economic Development Leader. F ormed in 2001, the MetroHartford Alliance united the business exper- tise of Hartford's Chamber of Commerce (founded in 1799) and the economic development leader- ship of the MetroHartford Economic Growth Council to create the Region's leading business and economic development organization. The Alliance brings together nearly 1,000 busi- nesses, education and healthcare institutions, municipalities, non-profit organizations, and gov- ernment leaders who are invested in the Hartford Region's future economic growth and its viability for robust business development. To that end, the Alliance supports pro-growth legislation, helps local companies expand, assists start-ups, encourages gov- ernment investment in key infrastructure assets, develops programs for young professionals, and recruits companies from out of state to build a pres- ence in the Region. The mission of the MetroHartford Alliance is to compete aggressively and successfully for jobs, talent and capital for the Hartford Region and to ensure that the Hartford Region is a premier place for all people to live, work, play and raise a family.
