Benefits of working collaboratively with partners

Enhancing economic growth takes a collaborative effort. It’s important for municipalities to collaborate with others in order to foster economic growth. Think through the organizations you partner with to understand if there are gaps in organizations that represent diversity of  race, ethnicity, genders, or unique perspectives.

Community Examples

The Town of Bethel partnered with the Bethel Chamber of Commerce in which they created the website “Discover Bethel”, which highlights attractions like restaurants and businesses in Bethel. This collaboration is significant to increase economic development. The Discover Bethel website is organized with both the resident, the visitor, and the business owner in mind. Components include: Things to Do, Events, About Bethel, Living in Bethel, Shop, Dining in Bethel, Services in Bethel, Where to Stay, For Business

Bethel, Connecticut is New England at its finest: scenic hills, quaint village center, church steeples, and historic landmarks.
