State Street Business Association

Special thanks to all of the people involved with our creation of a State Street Business Association this week. The Association, which will have leaders from key businesses in the State Street/Welton Street area, was incredibly well received and created a sense of excitement in the business community. Some of the businesses that have expressed interest in being involved included: Circle A Automotive, Facility Support Services, Frank's Autobody, SOZO Cafe, EZ Form Cable Company and more.

I was particularly appreciative of State Representative Peter Villano and State Representative Brendan Sharkey, who both attended the event and pledged support to the Association and State Street area improvements. I discusses setting up a meeting with them and our State Senators for after the election to see what we can accomplish together. It sounds like it will be a tremendous collaboration that will bring some serious progress to our District.

Special thanks also has to go out to my Leng for Hamden Team. The fundraiser was a great success and we enjoyed supporting a local State Street business, SOZO Cafe, as the location of the event. We will likely hold future State Street Business Association Meetings at SOZO.

This is the weekend before the election and I am looking forward to meeting many of you as I finish going door-to-door in our District. I want to again thank everyone for the hospitality, support and kindness that you have shown for me and the work that I am trying to do as I meet you at your doors. You can count on me to continue to fight for our District once the election is over.

If you have any questions, need a ride to the poll, would like a lawn sign or would like to volunteer over the weekend or on election day, please e-mail me at councilmancurtleng@sbcglobal.net . I look forward to hearing from you !
