Orange First Selectman Jim Zeoli and Connecticut Commissioner of Economic and Community Development David Lehman will headline a March 18 breakfast event centered around economic development in Orange.
The event, dubbed a State and Town Economic Outlook Breakfast, is cosponsored by the Orange Chamber of Commerce and the Orange Economic Development Corporation.
Zeoli will speak to the economic growth and development in town. He will be followed by Lehman, who oversees a wide range of programs promoting business retention and recruitment, brownfield redevelopment, the arts, historic preservation and tourism.
Lehman’s business development priorities include helping build the state’s urban centers into engines of growth, further capitalizing on top-flight colleges and universities, strengthening the state’s workforce pipelines, and marketing Connecticut as a place that is open for business.
The breakfast will be held at 7:30 a.m. at the Grassy Hill Country Club. For reservations call 203-891-1045 or email Mary@orangeedc.com.
