Welcome to Putnam, Connecticut. Located in the scenic Northeast Corner of Connecticut, Putnam is the retail center for the neighboring communities of Pomfret, Eastford, Woodstock and Thompson, as well as many towns located just over the border in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Putnam is home to a thriving antique district. Over four hundred dealers are based in Putnam, attracting customers from Providence, Boston and New York City. Putnam is making a million dollar investment in its river front. A two mile multi-purpose pathway, the Putnam River Trail, will be open in the fall of 1997.

Putnam is an Eastern Connecticut Enterprise Corridor community, located in the State's first rural enterprise corridor. Putnam is home to corporations such as Staples, Dimension Polyant, CVI Laser and International Paper. Enterprise benefits include a 5 year, 80% abatement of property taxes and a 10 year, 25% state corporate tax credit. The upcoming Smart Parks project, an $8 million dollar investment in improved infrastructure in and around the Putnam Industrial Park, is just one more reason why Putnam is The Center for Industry.
