New London has a strong maritime identity, home to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and Electric Boat, the major submarine manufacturer based nearby in Groton across the river. The region also supports a healthcare sector anchored by Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, a growing arts scene, and commercial activity tied to Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods casinos just a short drive away.
