NORWICH – This year marks a milestone for the Norwich Tire Company – 50 years in business. And with a project in the works that would expand their product offerings and give them more service space, the company hopes to stick around for 50 more.

Norwich Tire recently was granted an economic development loan from the City of Norwich. Office Manager Vince Anthony explained the loan will be used to help the company to expand. “We’re transforming one of our existing buildings into an outdoor power equipment center,” said Anthony. “It will be used for sales and service of our complete line of products.”

Norwich Tire’s outdoor power equipment center will carry Stihl Equipment, Toro Mowers and Tractors and a line of Ferris Equipment.
