…NHGrapevine…

“We have ignored the investment made in the Industrial Park…. We need to bring back attention to it.”

First Selectman Dan Jerram told members of the Economic Development Commission at their meeting last night. Now that’s welcome news to anyone who remembers how nice the industrial park looked when Executive Greetings and Hitchcock Chairs were located there some years ago.
