Population: 75,691 At the geographic center of Connecticut, New Britain is just a two hour drive from either New York or Boston. The recently completed Route 9 expansion and its intersection with Route 72 in the center of downtown provides direct access to Interstates 91 and 84, putting New Britain on the beltway between the state's major north/south and east/west interstates. This uncongested highway network allows local businesses to tap a large area labor force, sell goods to a prosperous retail area, and conveniently distribute products anywhere within the northeastern United States. New Britain also is served by interstate, intercity and local bus service from the center of the city, as well as freight train service, completing a well-rounded transportation system that links New Britain to the whole northeast market.
