Accessibility

Fairfield County’s steady expansion north puts New Milford closer to the action than ever.

With steadily improving access to the region’s most active commercial centers … but far removed from their costs and congestion. As a gateway between New England and New York, New Milford gives you a convenient, cost-efficient foothold into both areas. Situated on Connecticut’s western border, New Milford is equidistant from both New York and Hartford: little more than an hour and a half’s drive either way. The corporate centers of Danbury, Stamford and White Plains are all within commuting distance, and the urban centers of New Haven, Bridgeport, and Waterbury are also accessible. The wealthy suburban communities of Fairfield and Litchfield Counties in Connecticut - and Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess Counties in New York State – are also within a short drive.

Insatiable demand has already brought lower Connecticut’s prosperity to our doorstep; and with continuing improvements in transportation and technology, a New Milford business address makes more sense than ever.

Geography has given New Milford a privileged location; and a network of Interstate and State highways makes (and let you make) the most of it. The stretch of Interstate 84 running past New Milford now has a posted speed limit of 65mph; Connecticut Route 7 has been widened to two lanes each way through New Milford’s major commercial districts.

Expanded flight activity at three nearby airports open up new shipping and commuting opportunities for regional, national and international businesses.
