Shelton Makes "Booming Suburb" List

Congratulations to the City of Shelton for their recognition on Coldwell Banker’s “Top Booming Suburbs in America” survey, which was recently released as part of the Firm’s “Best Places to Live” series.  The “Booming Suburbs” ranking rated 1,500 communities across the country with populations of 22,275 or more based on levels of employment along with a range of quality of life attributes.   

Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce President Bill Purcell attributes Shelton’s ranking among the Top Ten Suburbs in Connecticut to its strong and diverse mix of business & industry, which includes global leaders and entrepreneurial start-ups. Shelton’s ranking is also testament to the quality of its public facilities, including its libraries, public schools and extensive network of nature trails and open spaces.

In addition to Shelton’s #9 ranking, other Fairfield County communities on the list are Trumbull, Westport, Ridgefield, Newtown, Fairfield and Greenwich.
