Enfield is OK.

It used to be the center for Ct Shade Tobacco. In fact, my first job was on the farm next to where the lego facility is located.

But, most of the farms are gone and it’s become a commuter community. In the last couple of years there has been a growth in BIG warehouses and distribution centers.

It is very close to major East/West and North/South traffic infrastructure and CT is outstanding at attracting new companies.

Same here in Jax, FL. One down side here to that is a lot more idling big rigs on the roadside. Particularly in the morning. They build the warehouses but not the infrastructure for the trucks using them.

Commuter community - that is what it has become.

Quick drive to Hartford and Springfield.

We went to a church in the Enfield Mall, and thought that the people were just as fine as any we have ever met.

But, like many small towns, it is a place that people move from when they are young, and move back to when the get older.
