Let us draft an incentive package that can put your business where it needs to be: Bristol! The Urban Jobs Program offers a five-year, 80-percent abatement of local real estate property taxes. Warehouse firms are also eligible for the program, but must be undertaking new construction. Bristol may also be able to tap additional tax-abatement programs to aid other development projects. Bristol also boasts a unique Local Grant Program to fund new construction, expansions, relocations and other projects. The awarded grant amount is determined by several factors, including the investment being made by the company. Recent success stories include a grant of $150,000 to a manufacturer that purchased land within the Southeast Bristol Business Park and constructed a 30,000-square-foot facility. Located on CT Route 229 just minutes from Interstate 84 and ESPN's world headquarters, the Southeast Bristol Business Park is attracting manufacturers and other companies interested in building the facility of their dreams. It is ideal for manufacturing, warehouse/distribution, biotech companies and other corporate headquarters.
