The topography
of Southington consists of gently rolling hills with numerous level
areas in the central section. Precipitous ridges extending N-S are
prominent along the Eastern border. A highland with elevations up
to 900 feet extends the entire length of the Western border and
is a pronounced topographic feature. The Quinnipiac River and its
tributaries are the principal drainage features of the Town.

One of the truly great things about
Southington is that we love our town and the Chamber of Commerce is
one of the best ways that we show it.

In addition to Mr. Secondo and the
Chamber Board of Directors, the Southington Town Hall stands ready
to assist you. Our Economic Development Coordinator, Mr. Lou Perillo

resource at Town Hall. Ask him about our tax abatement programs, our
Enterprise Zone, property availability, land opportunities, and
other programs available to help you meet your business goals. We
want your business and we want to prove that to you.
I, along with the entire Town Council,
have one collective goal, your success in Southington. Please feel
free to visit our web site at www.southington.org, which contains a

October 2003 was the beginning of
a new era. I am pleased to state that our membership is steadily
climbing and we recently reached the 550-member plateau.
Since 2003, your Chamber of Commerce
has accomplished many good things that have helped our member
clients. We’ve partnered with the Town of Southington to promote and
market the economic amenities of this community. We’ve also
sponsored numerous networking events and grand openings. We’ve had
fun at the Annual Dinner and our prestigious golf tournament.
The Chamber of Commerce has used common
sense in our approach to assisting our members. Our members know
Southington is our only focus and our office is working daily to be
creative, helpful and articulate. As a visitor to this site, I
encourage you to visit the websites of our sponsors and please visit
our virtual tour of Southington.
Make sure you see the photos of
Southington and how the Chamber can work for you. Southington
is a fast growing community of 42,000 residents with a wonderful
location 20 miles between Hartford and New Haven. With five exits of
Interstate 84, Southington has learned to grow with retail and
commercial while retaining its New England charm.
Our downtown business district is a
testimony to old fashioned beliefs that the heart of a community is
its downtown. Southington is a mix of the old and new; a blend of
young families and traditional ethnic families.
The Greater Southington Chamber of
Commerce was formed in 1938. Yet, times have changed and late in
2003, a new enthusiasm was rekindled and a mission was begun to earn
the Chamber a position of respectability and accountability.
Welcome to the Chamber,
Arthur H. Secondo
