It was an exceptionally informative and comprehensive Economic Development Commissions Report provided by First Selectman Michael Freda this morning. We got to hear from Walter Mann, Chairmen of the Economic Development Commission, Matthew J Pugliese, Deputy Commissioner for State of CT DECD, and Daniel Robertson, Chief Executive from Artis Energy. During the program, Mike Freda elaborated on the various developments and challenges that are currently taking place within the community, highlighting both the progress made and the obstacles that need to be addressed. There are numerous projects underway in the town, ranging from infrastructure improvements to new business ventures, with several promising prospects on the horizon that could further enhance the town's economic vitality. The Town of North Haven is on a robust growth curve, demonstrating resilience and strength as it continues to expand and thrive in the face of both opportunities and challenges.
