“I am both a business owner and resident of West Hartford with my wife and two boys. Our experience has been amazing for my company and for my family. When my boys were younger they played in the town sports programs and now that they are older they enjoy hanging out with their friends all around WeHa. The support my company has felt from the town is quite remarkable. We appreciate all of the outdoor amenities. After a nice walk, we can eat any kind of food you can imagine at one of the many Weha restaurants.”
