fairfield county
As part of the metro New York economy and home to four of Connecticut's most dynamic and diverse metropolitan areas (Stamford, Norwalk, Bridgeport and Danbury), the Fairfield region is remarkably diverse. Advanced manufacturing, financial services, professional services and healthcare top the employment categories in the region. While nineteen Fortune 1000 corporations call this region home, it is well represented by a growing number of small businesses as well. And our diverse, skilled and mobile workforce is just one of the many reasons that the Fairfield region is considered by many to be a ‘global neighborhood.’
Education in the county is usually provided by the town governments. The exceptions are the towns of Redding and Easton, which joined together to form a regional school district.
