The Portland Town Hall is located at 33 East Main Street, P.O. Box 71, Portland CT 06480
 

Thank you for inquiring about our town. As you explore our web site, you'll find that Portland has a lot to offer.
     We invite prospective businesses to explore our Main Street development initiatives. Our business district is just a short walk from our spectacular brownstone quarries (a National Historic Landmark).
     Nothing in recent times has galvanized the Town of Portland as much as the development of Main Street, along with the adjacent quarries and riverfront property. It's like a ghost of old time Portland promising to come alive again!
     Portland offers such recreational attractions as quality golf courses, several marinas, and a Blue-Blaze hiking trail through a State Forest.
     If you want to learn more about our town, please read Positively Portland for a concise overview.
     If you are interested in locating a business here, contact our Planning Department at: 860-342-6720.
