Promote tourism and increase visitation within the district

Improve the quality of life for residents

Promote and encourage artists, entrepreneurs and creative businesses

Strengthen distinctive character of communities.

The Cultural district will help drive economic growth and expand tax base within Torrington. The District is designed to highlight Torrington’s culture and history in a condensed, walkable area.
