Invited participating Legislators are State Senators Joseph Crisco and Joan Hartley, and Area Representatives Theresa Conroy, David Labriola and Rosa Rebimbas.

“This is an annual opportunity,” commented Naugatuck Chamber of Commerce Chairwoman Yvette Wilmot of Sarracco Mechanical Services, Inc., “for our members to discuss one-to-one with our State Legislators such importance concerns as health care, workforce development, energy costs containment, infrastructure funding, taxes, and brownfields remediation.”
Top priority issues to be discussed will include the State of Connecticut’s fiscal predictability re: spending and taxation; continued job creation investments into the important manufacturing arena; labor cost issues; local area and regional needs that require state and federal support. Of particular interest will be the initiatives to recognize the leading role and high value of the manufacturing arena for the Naugatuck region; the Waterbury Naugatuck River Greenway project; the widening of 1-84 and its impact on area businesses.
