Everything about Knowledge Corridor totally explained
The
Hartford-Springfield Economic Partnership constitutes an economic and cultural partnership between the
Connecticut River cities of
Springfield, Massachusetts,
Hartford, Connecticut, and surrounding towns. Formalized by business and education leaders in 2000 at
the Big E in
West Springfield, the partnership seeks to engender economic and cultural opportunities for
New England's second most populous region, (after
Greater Boston) of 1.7 million residents and 110,000 college students. The Hartford-Springfield area hosts over 26 colleges and universities, and thus received the moniker
Knowledge Corridor from regional boosters.
Hartford and Springfield share a common Connecticut River heritage since their respective foundings in
1635 and
1636. During the mid-20th century, the cities shared a dramatic loss of industry,
white flight, and disastrous
urban renewal. Knowledge Corridor initiatives attempt to rectify these problems.
While Hartford and Springfield's urban cores lie only 25 miles apart, (with
Bradley International Airport situated midway between them,) the Hartford-Springfield metro region includes outlying cities like
Northampton and
Amherst to the north in Massachusetts's
Pioneer Valley, and
Middletown, Connecticut to the south.
The
New Haven-Hartford-Springfield Commuter Rail Line is intended to further unite the region and ease residents' dependence on
Interstate 91.
