Fairfield’s most valuable and undeveloped assets are about to develop. Fairfield has waited more than 33 years for the location of the former Exide battery plant on Post Road to be blank enough to be safely reused.
Imagining all the attractive odds for this place, I made the decision to pick up the phone and call the developer. We had a great verbal exchange and he recognizes what I recognized: corporations need to come here. He said he was in a verbal exchange, with the corporations contemplating moving his headquarters here to Fairfield.
What used to be a commercial wasteland can now house a charming new headquarters. Businesses realize that their staff needs to live in Connecticut. They can bring their business closer to staff, pay less tax, reduce overhead with a smaller footprint, and quality of life for everyone with shorter trips.
In my opinion, taking a lunchtime stroll along a road that has not yet evolved along Exide’s assets overlooking the Mill River and the charming southport harbor is an idyllic running environment. In addition, Fairfield is the restaurant center of the Gold Coast, Staff can enjoy a drink and dinner after work at one of our restaurants. Then, instead of taking an hour and a part of the exercise house, other people can get in their cars and get to the house in 15 minutes.
The progression of Exide’s former assets means more tax gains for Fairfield, which will offset taxes on non-public assets, and means more time for others to spend with their families than to move around.
The tide is changing for Connecticut and I am excited to participate in the Legislature to attract business here by simplifying operations with less bureaucracy, long-term stability and tax incentives for longevity and growth. our business climate to attract more opportunities like this.
