Page 4 of 16

The Town of Bloomfield is a municipal government located in Hartford County,

Connecticut. Incorporated in 1835, Bloomfield operates under a Council-Manager form of

government pursuant to its Charter, with a nine-member Town Council responsible for

legislative functions and the appointment of a Town Manager to oversee day-to-day

operations. The Mayor and Deputy Mayor are selected from among the Council members.

Town Hall is located at 800 Bloomfield Avenue, Bloomfield, CT 06002, and more

information is available on the Town’s official website at https://www.BloomfieldCT.gov/.

The Town encompasses approximately 26.9 square miles and had a population of 21,535

as of the 2020 U.S. Census. The community has a median age of approximately 47.8 and

a median household income of $97,436. Bloomfield is a regional employment center and

home to several major employers, including the headquarters of Cigna. The local economy

is supported by a diverse mix of industries, including finance and insurance, healthcare,

manufacturing, and logistics.

Bloomfield is development-friendly, with experienced staff who stand ready to provide

guidance and assistance related to the development of this site. The current mill rate is set

at 35.64, assessed at 70% of appraised market value. The Town is a member of the 29-

town Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) and works regionally on many

projects with other central Connecticut municipalities. It is a member of the Metropolitan

District Commission (MDC) from which it derives its water services.

Municipal services include full-time Police and Fire Departments, garbage pick-up

including single-stream recycling. The Town also offers a range of recreational amenities,

including a municipal golf course and access to regional trail systems and nearby state

parks. Bloomfield is committed to responsible governance and community development

and actively supports initiatives that enhance quality of life for residents and promote

sustainable economic growth.

Recently, the Town has embarked on several projects aimed at revitalization, including

the Prosser Library redevelopment and multiple residential community redevelopments.

The Town was awarded a Community Investment Fund planning grant by the the State

through DECD to develop a Master Plan for the Town Center. That plan was recently

completed. These efforts illustrate Bloomfield’s continuing commitment to a diversified

redevelopment strategy, spanning cultural and civic upgrades, a range of housing options,

and strategic economic drivers.

Concerning the acquisition of property, to ensure that long-term revitalization and

development goals are met and key redevelopment areas are not excluded, the Town may

consider the use of a wide range of available municipal tools, consistent with State and

federal law, to support the acquisition of priority sites.
