Torrington is
the largest city in Litchfield County,
Connecticut. As of the 2000 census, the city
population was 35,202, but a July 1, 2004
estimate put the city's population at
36,248. It is the largest city in Litchfield
County and in northwest Connecticut. It is
also the core city of the largest of the
country's micropolitan areas.
Torrington is an economically depressed
former mill town, as are most other towns
along the Naugatuck River Valley. It is
currently competing with the neighboring
city of Winsted to recreate a pleasant Main
Street environment. Downtown Torrington is
home to the Nutmeg Conservatory for the
Arts, which trains world-class ballet
dancers and whose Company performs in the
Warner Theatre, a 1,700 seat auditorium
restored in 2002 to its original 1931 glory.
The theater, while originally built as a
cinema by the Warner Brothers film studio,
has been reborn as a performing arts venue
and arts instruction organization, and it
will be a focal point for any further
downtown revitalization.
The current mayor of Torrington is
23-year-old Ryan Bingham.
The East end of the city, along U.S. Route
202, has been undergoing a period of
non-stop, rapid expansion since 1996. Led by
the development of multiple shopping centers
at that time, the once empty farm land has
become home to many chains that are new to
the city. Among the current projects are the
construction of a new chain drug store, the
relocation of a local bank branch and the
construction of a new car wash. Expected to
begin in the next 12 months are a Stop &
Shop supermarket, that would be the second
in the city, as well as a Target department
store nearby. In anticipation for these
newest projects, the McDonalds restaurant
was torn down and rebuilt, on the same site,
expanded by 50%.
