Rutland ranks as one of the most popular places to live in the country, due to its:

  • low crime rates

This makes Rutland particularly attractive to smaller, niche and high value businesses.

We are within reasonable distance to the major growth cities of:

There are over 1,900 businesses in the county. Our manufacturing and service sectors have seen strong growth.
