That has always been one of CT's problems.  Each town competes with each other.  Very little regional coordination outside of MetroNorth.  The state has 3 deepwater ports (Bridgeport, New Haven, New London); but does not have the money to upgrade all 3 so none of them are upgraded.  Cities steal minor league baseball teams from each other - Waterbury Indians, West Haven A's, New Haven Ravens, Norwich Navigators, New Britain RockCats, etc.   Heck, for a state with 3.6 million people on just 5,500 square miles and is all of 70 miles in width, having 3 'major' cities (Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford) and several smaller cities is not.  Too many places to spread limited resources over.  Connecticut would have been better off with 1 city in the middle of the state (pick would be New Haven over Hartford, its on the coast & has direct rail access to NYC) with 400K city population, about a million in the metro area where the resources, jobs, etc. could be focused.
