Legislative

Representing the interests of business to the government is a crucial function of the Chamber.  The Central Connecticut Chambers’ Legislative Action Committee provides Chamber members with access to legislators and policymakers, working to improve business conditions in the area and the state of Connecticut.

The Committee works to support legislation that will provide manufacturers with skilled workers through education programs and training; help secure funding for the Central Connecticut Revolving Loan Fund; and reduce the cost of doing business in Connecticut by lowering state taxes.

The Committee’s high priority issues include the construction of Bristol’s Southeast Business Park, along with other regional economic and legislative needs of Central Connecticut.
