Today, the #NVCOG team had the privilege of joining the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce and the City of Ansonia for an engaging breakfast forum with Mayor David Cassetti and his Economic Development Team at the Ansonia Senior Center. 🌆

Mayor Cassetti and his team shared a decade's worth of exciting economic development milestones in Ansonia, including the successful transformation of downtown Brownfields. 🏭

One highlight? Plans for a new brewery to be housed in the former Evening Sentinel building - an exciting addition to the community's growth!

Our NVCOG team members, Ricardo Rodriguez, Brownfields Coordinator, Drew Baklik, Director of Municipal Affairs, and Molly Johnson, Community Planner, were there to witness the fruitful discussions.

Special shoutout to Ricardo for his exceptional brownfield work! Thanks to the team, Ansonia's economic future looks brighter than ever. ☀️
