Wants you To KNOW

The Town of Groton is home to half of downtown Mystic, one of the biggest tourist draws in Connecticut. Mystic has a variety of shopping and dining, along with hosting many spectacular events. Groton is also home to Electric Boat and Pfizer, creating a stable economic base for the Town. Additionally, we host the Naval Submarine Base New London. The town is actively trying to grow its 'Blue Industry' for water-related manufacturing and technology. A great example of this is the addition and rapid expansion of ThayerMahan, the maker of remote underwater drones.
