BUSINESS COUNCIL AND TELECOM CHIEF CONNECT AT ANNUAL MEETING BY BILL FALLON Bfallon@westfairinc.com

THE BUSINESS COUNCIL OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY elevated the bar for annual meetings recently at the Stamford Marriott when, seemingly without effort, it hosted a lunch for 280 executives, provided a national-caliber keynote speaker and attended to parliamentary matters in the span of two hours. Maggie Wilderotter, chairwoman and CEO of Stamford-based Frontier Communications Corp., which serves 30,000 nonurban mar-

kets in 27 states and is acquiring AT&T’s landline business, delivered the keynote address. Among the parliamentary matters, Reyno Giallongo Jr., who heads First County Bank and its 15 branches in Fairfield County as its chairman and CEO, remains atop the Business Council’s board of directors for another three-year term, and accounting firm O’Connor Davies L.L.P., with a Stamford office, remains the council’s auditor. Giallongo opened the event by thanking, in particular, companies assisting the Business Council’s education initiative, » Business Council, page 6

That certain pause on 95 in Norwalk WORK AT EXITS 14 AND 15 HAS ANOTHER YEAR BY BILL FALLON Bfallon@westfairinc.com

he slowdown on Interstate 95 at exits 14 and 15 is so predictable it cries out for a coffee kiosk on the median. Drivers have been enduring the addition of twin speed-change lanes, also known as auxiliary lanes, for two years and will do so until summer 2015, when the $42 million project to eliminate the clogging concludes. Complete fourth lanes will then unite exits 14 and 15 on both sides of the highway. Connecticut Department of Transportation spokesman Kevin Nursick called the auxiliary lanes “proven congestion busters.” He characterized them as “critical, strategic, tactical projects” that target known pinch points. They are also called “surgical projects.” “We know we cannot remake all of I-95,” Nursick said. “But we can have tremendous impacts with these smaller, critical projects.” Nursick said the exit14-15 project was undertaken because the spot was already a notorious chokepoint. Without the improvements, the brief distance between exits 14 and 15 was three lanes, creating chaos termed “bumping and weaving” by Nursick. Many use the exits just to get around Norwalk, he said. More than 100,000 cars per day pass the spot. “Historically, it has backed up morning, noon and night,” Nursick said. “With 14 coming on and 15 going off, it was utterly inefficient.” The project will also see the replacement of three bridges along the stretch: on Taylor and Fairfield avenues, where work continues, and on Cedar Street, where the new bridge is complete. Nursick said the bridges were due for replacement and that the economics

of combining the project were ideal. “We were thinking the price could have been potentially double what we are paying,” he said. The recession that hit the construction and materials industries hard has brought prices down, he said, resulting in “phenomenal bang for the buck for the taxpayer — no question about it.” Torrington-based O&G Industries Inc., with offices in Stamford and Bridgeport, is the construction contractor. The roadside blasting that has added to the already-congested scene is

expected to wrap up for good by July’s end. Nursick said the remaining blasting is below grade, which is easier than blasting through above-ground shelf because the blasted material is selfcontained and can be readily scooped from the ground. “It’s a more appealing process below grade,” he said. The inconveniences have not escaped notice, but Nursick said drivers, particularly those who live in the neighborhood, have been understanding. “There are obvious impacts of noise and traffic with a project like

this,” he said. “But I would use the analogy of a sick person needing medicine to describe the situation. The medicine may not taste great, but it is necessary to cure the problem. I think people recognize this. This is a great project for Fairfield County and, because of our interconnectedness, it’s a great project for the entire state.” As for next summer, Nursick promised a dramatic change. “When we open those auxiliary lanes, it will be like throwing a switch. Turn that switch on and the problem is solved.”

Bridgewater pulls plug on planned $750M project BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

$750 million proposal to construct an 850,000-square-foot office building that would house a hedge fund company at Stamford’s Harbor Point is now off the table. On June 27, would-be prospective tenant Bridgewater Associates notified Michael Pollard, the Stamford mayor’s office chief of staff, of its decision to back out. The project had never received final approval from the city’s planning and zoning departments.

“After careful examination and reflection surrounding the challenges, time, energy and resources needed to bring the proposed Stamford project to completion, we have decided not to proceed with the move.” Westport-based Bridgewater, which manages more than $150 billion in global investments, decided to back out because of the time restraints and cost factors of completing the project at Stamford’s waterfront, according to Bridgewater spokeswoman Ryan FitzGibbon. “After careful examination and reflection surrounding the challenges, time, energy and resources needed to bring the proposed Stamford project to completion, we have decided not to proceed with the move,” FitzGibbon said. “We are particularly thankful to Gov. Malloy for doing his utmost to make this opportunity possible.” When asked if Bridgewater plans to expand into other parts of Connecticut, FitzGibbon said that it’s “exploring other options.” Bridgewater’s hesitation to fully commit to the project was reported early in

the process, but it was only recently that it officially revoked its interest in Harbor Point. The multimillion-dollar project was highly supported at the city and state level, but that it fell to the wayside was not a complete surprise, said David Bednarz, deputy press secretary for Gov. Dannel Malloy, since Connecticut has had a history of being unable to retain “good-paying jobs.” “For a long time, our state failed to compete for the kinds of good-paying jobs with good benefits that will grow and sustain our economy,” Bednarz said. “Working as a partner with our business community, we can make sure that Connecticut businesses can do what we need them to do: grow good-paying jobs here in Connecticut. We will continue working with employers — both large and small — in our efforts to regain Connecticut’s economic competitiveness.” Pollard said most of the project negotiations with Bridgewater took place under the previous administration. When Mayor David Martin entered office in December, the primary goal was to attempt to understand what caused Bridgewater to stall and eventually stop the project, Pollard said. “There was no additional progress,” Pollard said. “We tried to reassure Bridgewater we were receptive and wanted them to come to Stamford and inquired what would be required from the city’s standpoint to make this happen. What we have been doing is working with them to accommodate the kind of work population they anticipated. We had consistently been echoing to them the importance of them coming to Stamford, but they were going through their own internal discussions.” The 14-acre former boatyard site that was targeted for the project — which according to many accounts could have created thousands of jobs in Stamford — will remain vacant until Building and Land Technology, the developer of Harbor Point, brings in a new tenant.

Economic engine begins to purr

ith the Greenwich Chamber of Commerce’s four-day sidewalk sale arriving July 10-13 — bigger and better this year with live music, face painting and a balloon artist — the National Federation of Independent Business has joined the celebration, if statistically. U.S. small business sentiment hit its highest level in more than 6 years recently, with both sales and expectations for investment earnings up. It has been a long time coming, but the federation, with Connecticut offices in Avon, said in June its Small Business Optimism Index increased 1.4 points to 96.6 in May. September 2007 was the last time the federation found a correspondingly high number. The NFIB cited the data as the latest sign economic growth “has shifted into higher gear.”

The third straight month of increases in the index, which is viewed by economists as a reliable barometer of the economy’s health, further lifts the national growth outlook. Recent data show the economy scored a fourth successive month of job gains of more than 200,000 in May. That means all or most of the jobs lost in the recession have returned, although there is an active debate about the quality of jobs lost versus jobs regained. The economy contracted at a 1 percent annual rate in the first quarter, hit hard by an old-fashioned winter in much of the country, but growth for the second quarter is expected to reach or exceed 3 percent. Five of the NFIB index’s 10 components advanced, with big gains in sales and earnings expectations. Smallbusiness owners were also upbeat about prospects across the next half year. There were also increases in the

share of businesses planning to create new jobs, as well as those who believe this is a good time to expand. The survey also found “price hikes are more widespread than at any time since 2008,” a potential sign that inflation pressures could soon be steadily building up.

Hiring gains momentum FLAT UNEMPLOYMENT RATE COULD MEAN MORE ARE LOOKING FOR JOBS

BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com

mployment in Connecticut rose for the fourth consecutive month this year, according to the state Department of Labor’s May jobs report. The state gained 5,800 jobs in May, the most recent month for which data are available. Despite a steady uptick in job creation throughout the Danbury and BridgeportStamford labor market areas, the state has only recovered 60 percent of jobs lost during the recession. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 6.9 percent from April to May. But a flat unemployment rate is not necessarily a negative sign, said Peter

Gioia, economist at the Connecticut Business & Industry Association. The number could also be an indication that more people are coming back into the labor force to look for jobs. “The unemployment rate is not just a reflection of people who are not employed, but it’s also an indication that people are looking for employment,” Gioia said. “If you’re discouraged and don’t want to look for work, then you don’t even get counted in the unemployment numbers. People are now coming back into the labor force looking for work because they think they have a reasonable chance of getting it.” The Bridgeport-Stamford and » » Employment, page 6

Citrin Cooperman Corner How to Hire Wisely BY EDWARD ROBERTS, CPA CITRIN COOPERMAN one candidate that is great, make an offer immediately, don’t wait. Be competitive in your offer, and make sure it reflects the candidate’s worth.”

Edward Roberts

Edward Fleischman Execu|Search

Attracting and retaining the right employees can be one of the most challenging aspects of running a business. When it comes to bringing the best on board, it is critical to take a look at your company’s culture to make sure it’s an ideal environment for learning, productivity, and advancement. Cultivating an atmosphere that keeps your talent engaged and candidates knocking at your door takes strategy and innovation. Here are a few tactics that are sure to help: LOOK BEYOND EXPERIENCE. Familiarity of an area is important, but it’s not everything. “Don’t match up apples to apples all the time,” said Edward Fleischman, Chief Executive of The Execu|Search Group, a full-service recruitment, temporary staffing and retained search firm headquartered in New York City. “If you are going to hire a neurosurgeon, go for technical expertise and experience. If you are going to hire in several different broad areas, roles can be taught. If someone has a desire to learn, works hard, and is personable, they may be the best candidate.” PREPARE FOR YOUR SEARCH. When it comes to filtering hundreds of resumes, consider hiring someone to screen, according to Edward. This makes the process easier for your hiring managers and will allow you to see only the best batch of potential candidates. “For internal entry-level hires, we have a career day,” Edward said. “We will host 15-20 people. They’ll come in and receive an introduction to the firm, they’ll meet the hiring managers, and then be invited back for a second interview. We’ve made a number of hires that way.” But take note, once you make someone an offer – no matter how perfect they may seem - it’s always smart to pay for a background check to ensure your decision doesn’t come with any surprises.

MAKE A JOB OFFER QUICKLY. The job market is hot – especially in the areas of IT and health care - and people have more options than the recent past. As a result, employers have to be ready to respond when the right candidate appears. “Often times you don’t need to see 10 candidates,” Edward said. “If you see

BE FLEXIBLE. Work-life balance is more than just a catch phrase; it’s what top-notch candidates now expect. While you may be shocked when you see the younger generation wearing headphones while they work, those types of liberties are now the norm. “Millennials, in particular, like paid time off, and they don’t want to be stuck in a two-week vacation window,” Edward said. Follow your company’s rules and procedures, but know when to bend. Today’s candidates want to be exposed to many different areas and expect to advance swiftly up the ladder, which can be a shift for many in upper level management. Ultimately, however, it’s a positive attribute for growth. INVEST IN LEADERSHIP. It’s not enough to just develop your current leaders; it’s essential to identify and train the leaders of your future. “Leadership programs support your staff and employees while helping them grow into their careers,” Edward said. Investment can also go beyond money. One of the top reasons employees leave is because they feel underappreciated. Take the time to acknowledge your leaders and reward them, keeping in mind that some perks have more meaning than others. PROMOTE YOUR CULTURE. At Execu|Search, 50 percent of the staff are under the age of 30. “We understand the young person,” Edward said. “We describe our culture as young, professional, ethical, hard working, ambitious, and competitive – but not cutthroat. There’s a big difference.” Many candidates are looking to social media, word of mouth, and the Internet to gauge whether a company is the right fit. Make sure the face of your company reflects who you are internally, and keep your digital channels lively and engaging – this will help flock the best, brightest stars to your positions.

Seel introduced Wilderotter; PwC L.L.P.; UIL Holdings Corp.; and Wells Fargo Bank N.A. Many in the room had potentially seen the dark side of computing: hacking and theft. Wilderotter said Frontier is a leader in preventing cyberfraud and cyberattacks, having enrolled 1 million clients in its security program, more than any other program nationally. “Small businesses need the same protections,” she said. “We’re trying to stay ahead to protect data and experiences.” Wilderotter said Frontier typically services 34 clients per mile, whereas bigger players have several hundred per mile. Yet the Frontier goal is to provide highspeed broadband to all its customers; it has already reached the 90 percent goal. She said it is a business model that works, with Frontier stock paying a 7 percent annual dividend. She said lower taxes and fewer regulations would help further.

Said Dee DelBello, publisher of Westfair Communications, “Our two organizations will complement each other perfectly. The Hearst name is synonymous with great journalism and we are rightly proud of our own publications for their long history of bringing the most comprehensive local business news to devoted readers. For Hearst to reach our readership and for our products to reach their readers makes sound journalistic sense and, more importantly, it gives readers more complete business news.” The Fairfield County Business Journal and its sister Westchester County Business Journal are 50 years old. They were founded by former Westchester resident David Moore, a grandson of New York publisher Joseph Pulitzer, and John Smith, a former Wall Street Journal editor. Westfair also sponsors seminars, expos, conferences, roundtable discussions and debates, and the popular Fairfield County 40 Under 40 event, which recently drew a record crowd to The Palace theater in downtown Stamford. Hearst dates to the 19th century when William Randolph Hearst founded it. Today the company owns 15 dailies and 34 weeklies nationally.

Danbury labor market areas have added a combined 6,500 jobs from May 2013 to May this year. The two labor markets lost 400 jobs from April to May this year. Part of the reason is that the financial services sector has lost 900 jobs and construction and mining remained weak, losing 800 jobs in May alone, Gioia said. The state’s overall year-over-year report showed 12,500 jobs have been added from last May to this May. Manufacturing remained flat in the two labor markets with less job activity in Danbury compared with the Bridgeport-Stamford area, Gioia said. The administrative and support staff category added 3,400 jobs in May, while food services gained 1,900 jobs that same month. Education and health services added 1,600 jobs, reflecting the changing demographics and implementation of the Affordable Care Act as more people receive health insurance and more people who are elderly have more intensive medical requirements, Gioia said. Transportation, warehousing, utilities, regional trade and information technology have seen steady job gains, too.

Employment in the mortgage, hospitality and retail sectors could see gains with the announcement of businesses coming and expanding into Fairfield County. Guaranteed Rate, a mortgage lender, added three offices, creating 40 new jobs, some of which will be placed in Norwalk. EVEN Hotel recently opened in Norwalk and employed 35 people. Last month, Vineyard Vines, a clothing retailer in Stamford, announced plans to expand and hire 200 more employees over the next five years. Meanwhile, Fairfield has seen some job losses in the banking and health sectors. Citizen Bank recently announced it will reduce its workforce in Bridgeport by 125 people from August to October; and Purdue Pharma L.P., a pharmaceutical company in Stamford, announced it will cut 59 workers starting in August. “What you’re seeing here is some expansion and some reduction going on,” Gioia said. “Basically, what that means is that the economy is starting to return to normal. But it’s still got a ways to go. We’re still looking at another year and a half of continued moderate to good performance to get us back.”

Legal preparations for a home business, part one

hese days, many people are leaving the mother ship of corporate life to become self-employed. Our nation boasts a surplus of high-skilled workers that, combined with continued trends in downsizing and outsourcing, is creating a plethora of jobseekers that have no choice but to be self-employed. This is particularly prevalent in the baby boomer generation. Many people become consultants who can work anywhere and, therefore, work out of their homes to save on expenses and enjoy convenience. Here are some of the key topics any self-employed person needs to consider at the outset:

workers. In the course of a tree removal, a massive branch fell on the customer’s house, damaging the roof and the master bedroom. Compensating the customer could cost tens of thousands of dollars. Although it is legal to be engaged in your business as a sole proprietorship or “doing business as,” it is almost always better to operate your business as a corporation or limited liability company. In addition to the professionalism of having an entity, the entity affords some protection by shielding you from liabilities caused by others in the course of the business’ activities. Therefore, while the business itself will be liable for acts or omissions Entity formation by employees, agents or contractors, the Gloria runs a successful landscaping business owner would not have his or her business from home, storing equipment in own assets at risk (like a house or savings) her garage and employing three younger unless the claim arises from something

the business owner did.

Protecting confidential information

Mario was thrilled when a national charitable foundation hired him to help with a major campaign. He quickly signed a contract, not realizing the terms of the agreement required he divulge a list of former donors he had amassed over years as a professional fundraiser. Your value as a self-employed consultant or salesperson derives from your years of experience, know-how and contacts. Therefore, you must protect your “special sauce” — your proprietary information and sales base. This is facilitated with confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements, which will also include provisions that prohibit solicitation of each other’s customers, clients and employees. Frequently, consultants are all too willing to sign such documents provided by the bigger companies for whom they wish to work. Without legal review, you might find yourself having given the other party access to your contacts and know-how without knowing it.

“Grandma’s Kitchen” was such a success that Grandma Esther had to hire an assistant, Delores, to meet the demand for her home-baked cookies and cakes. Should Delores receive benefits at her new job? If your business merits hiring underlings or associates, you need to determine whether they should be employees or independent contractors. Many smallbusiness owners try to consider everyone a contractor in order to not put them on payroll, to have more flexibility and to save money on a payroll service. However, the rules about whether someone is an employee or independent contractor are very complex and based upon the particular facts and circumstances of each unique relationship. The penalties for treating someone as an independent contractor for tax purposes when he or she is really an employee are significant, and you can avoid big headaches by discussing each situation with an experienced attorney.

compensation, and protects you from delinquent customers by imposing late charges, interest and court costs. In addition, most consultants would benefit by a contract that, in simple terms, defines the scope of the project, pays the consultant for extras, further protects confidential information and limits your liability in case the other party alleges it is dissatisfied with the work or has had other problems. More complicated contracts will involve such issues as fixing defective work, warranties, indemnification and dispute resolution. Some self-employed people make the mistake of using nothing more than purchase orders, which usually are not binding, or of blindly signing contracts provided to them by their client or customer. These contracts are typically one-sided, often prepared by in-house attorneys who have added provisions buried in the “boiler plate,” which can go unnoticed by a layman and create trouble for you. For these reasons, having a lawyer review such contracts is very important, and typically, an experienced contract lawyer will not need to charge much to review contracts on small projects. Of course, these are just some of the issues baby boomers must consider when launching a home business. Other equally important concerns will be covered in Part 2 of this article.

Sportsplex@Fairﬁeld: A property ﬁt for athletic tenants BY LEIF SKODNICK lskodnick@westfairinc.com

here most Fairfield residents saw an old rubber factory situated next to the railroad tracks, developer Hal Fischel saw an opportunity. Over the last seven years, Fischel, through his development corporation Fischel Properties, turned the old DuPont rubber plant on Mill Plain Road from a decaying reminder of the industrial past into a modern multisport facility called Sportsplex@Fairfield. The development has 12 different facilities for sports and athletics, as well as a restaurant, a juice bar and several nonsports tenants. The renewal of the property began when Fischel purchased it in 2007, but it took several years of work before the facility was ready to start soliciting tenants. “It took major rehab, major. That took some years,” Fischel said of the complex. “There was an 80-foot smokestack; there was a huge water tower. Where the restaurant is now, which has 60-foot ceilings, there were giant boilers that filled the whole building.” It wasn’t easy, Fischel said. The property had to be repaved, portions of buildings had to be structurally modified or rebuilt completely and high-volume air conditioning and modern electrical systems needed to be installed. “Millions,” Fischel said when asked to estimate the cost of renovations. “And it’s far more complicated than building new, because you have to remove the old and figure out how to fit in the new.” Fischel decided to turn the property, which is zoned for industrial use, into a multisport facility after looking over what types of businesses would be allowed to operate there. “We went down the list of what’s allowed and many of the things would never have paid off, like warehousing and storage and veterinary centers,” Fischel said. “So the only things that

really appealed to us were indoor recreation and restaurants.” After securing its first tenant, the Gymnastics and Cheerleading Academy of Connecticut, Fischel Properties was able to build upon the concept and secure more athletic occupants. “The fact is that athletic collaboration just works,” said Fischel, who noted that the variety of activities caters to the interest of kids. “Sometimes the siblings come here; one wants to go fencing, another wants to go rock climbing.” For Ben Kelly, who owns CrossFit gym BK Athletics at the Sportsplex, moving to the complex was an easy decision. He previously operated in a 500-squarefoot facility nearby, but when he heard

about the Fischel’s idea for the property, he moved quickly to secure a location. “Expontentially,” Kelly said of how beneficial it is to BK Athletics to be at the multisport facility. “Because of the traffic that comes through here, for one, but the gymnastics at the end especially. We have a great synergy with them because their manager trains here, all their staff train here, and what we do in regard to strength and conditioning, the emphasis on gymnastics is so important.” In addition to Kelly’s CrossFit gym, the 130,000-square-foot complex features a fencing gym, a taekwondo academy, a hot yoga studio, a field house for lacrosse, soccer and similar activities, a rock climbing facility, an art studio and

a tutoring center. Once school lets out for the day, Sportsplex is abuzz with activity. “What doesn’t go on here?” asked Vanessa Valentino, an instructor at the Gymnastics and Cheerleading Academy of Connecticut. “We have gymnastics, dance, parkour, martial arts, tricking and free running. It’s like the gym that never sleeps.” “It’s a unique concept and the fact that it’s just off I-95 and half a block to the Post Road are advantages,” Fischel said. “We have adequate parking and most of the tenants have expanded since they first moved in here. We have 18 tenants here now and after a few years the place is finally fully occupied.”

estern Connecticut State University in Danbury recently completed construction on a $97 million building for its School of Visual and Performing Arts. The 135,000-square-foot facility, slated to open in September, is complete with a 350-seat concert hall (pictured) and theater that contains two balcony rings, dressing and practice rooms, galleries and several studios for recording, painting and sculpting. More than $1 million was invested in audio and video equipment. The lobby includes hanging LED (light-emitting diode) lights as well as touch-screen and big-screen TVs. The vision of the project was to provide more resources and opportunities for students to be equipped with the right tools and technology to prepare them for careers in the arts, said Dan Goble, third-year dean at the arts school. “Fairfield County and Connecticut

are huge drivers of businesses with 4 to 5 percent of the total number of businesses in Connecticut being arts-related,” Goble said. “There are 13,000 arts-related businesses in Connecticut, and we’re the ones to help fill those jobs and raise future entrepreneurs by teaching kids how to play music and draw in school.” — BY CRYSTAL KANG

~ Does your website reflect your business? ~ Is it up-to-date?

Should You Build Your Own Website? The do-it-yourself sites online today can be great if you have the time and patience to learn all you need to do to get your site up and running, but is it working for you? A well-built website is not just an aesthetically pleasing bunch of pages. There are so many factors that go into a site that will determine how Google ranks you. You may build it, but will they see it? So, hire a professional? What does a website cost? The average person doesn’t have a clue and the large web development companies like it that way. If you’re not careful, you’ll overpay from everything to buying a domain name to hosting and design of your site. Wagner Web Designs, Inc. has been designing and maintaining small business websites since 2007. With 20 years in the design and marketing arena, Andrea

~ Is it mobile friendly?

Wagner, president, has been able to find a comfortable niche in the small business web building marketplace. “Many larger development companies will not design your website for less than $10,000. We meet directly with our clients and get a feel for what they want. We outsource development projects if necessary while overseeing all quality and design. We hire based on needs and solutions. We keep our overhead low and pass those savings on to the customer,” says Andrea. Clients are located throughout the country, mostly in the tri-state area. Her office is located in Danbury, Conn. She continues to maintain hundreds of websites while maintaining loyal customers who appreciate the attention they get. Visit www.wagnerwebdesigns.com for more information.

Revitalizing Downtown Bridgeport Via ‘Creative Placemaking’ The Bridgeport DSSD is the Business Improvement District for downtown Bridgeport. DSSD is charged with supplementing municipal services to ensure a safe, welcome and attractive environment within the Park City’s central business corridor. Downtown Bridgeport serves as both a local and regional center for commercial, communal and cultural activities. Downtown Bridgeport is home to a variety of land uses and includes the headquarters of Peoples Bank, Housatonic Community College, Bridgeport City Hall and residential development. Downtown is also home to 27 parks/open spaces. DSSD has adopted a strategy of “creative placemaking” to achieve its mission of revitalizing downtown Bridgeport. A central tenet of creative placemaking is to leverage the value of parks/open spaces to improve make the physical setting, increase cultural activity and drive demand and increased patronage to businesses within the central business corridor. DSSD is embarking on a multiyear effort to first beautify then activate each of these spaces pursuant to the principles of creative placemaking. The DSSD has begun the “Downtown Champions” campaign in order to increase participation and financial support of downtown Bridgeport’s many cultural offerings – such as the Downtown Thursdays Free Concert Series, annual ArtsFest and Downtown Farmers Market. The Downtown Champions program will further brand downtown Bridgeport as a local and regional destination. Urban municipalities throughout the nation seek to revitalize their central business districts by fostering well-maintained, cultural centers that are pedestrian friendly and home to transitbased development. DSSD’s open-space beautification effort and implementation of cultural activities are a pivotal to the implementation of this strategy in downtown Bridgeport. Open space beautification will add value to the environment in downtown Bridgeport by cultivating a sense of safety and appreciation for open-spaces. Cultural events will help drive demand to downtown businesses and market downtown Bridgeport to visitors from other Bridgeport neighborhoods and residents from surrounding communities. Mike Moore President-CEO Bridgeport DSSD Member, Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County The mission of the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County is to support cultural organizations, artists and creative businesses by providing promotion, services and advocacy. For more information, visit CulturalAllianceFC.org or email infoCulturalAllianceFC.org or call 256-2329. For events lists, visit FCBuzz.org.

Arts & Culture of Fairfield County

SHAWN COLVIN AT THE FAIRFIELD THEATRE COMPANY JULY 12 Standing out front of the world’s singer songwriters, Shawn Colvin is a singular and enduring talent. Admired for her slow-release songs and that sonic catharsis that comes with each of them, they become lifetime companions for their listeners. As a storyteller, Colvin is both keen and warm-hearted, leavening even the toughest tales with tenderness, empathy and a searing sense of humor. In the 19 years since the release of her debut album, “Steady On,” Colvin has won three Grammy Awards, released eight critically acclaimed solo albums, maintained a nonstop national and international touring schedule, appeared on countless television and radio programs, had her songs featured in major motion pictures and created a remarkable body of work. She is admired in all circles that respect the craft of a singer-songwriter for not only her smooth, relatable voice and touching tales, but for her endurance and how she carries herself; a travelling troubadour on a mission to share her gift. The Fairﬁeld Theatre Company (FTC) is a nonproﬁt center for the arts and culture located in the heart of

downtown Fairfield.

CNBC Rankings: A Four-Year Slide

NBC released its annual business rankings last week, and for Connecticut, the results were all too familiar. The state slipped for the fourth consecutive year, this time to 46th and a place in the cable network’s worst five states for doing business. Only Alaska, West Virginia, Hawaii, and Rhode Island fared worse. Why? There’s some familiar problem areas. We have the fourth-highest cost of doing business, third-highest cost of living, ninth-worst infrastructure, and the nation’s second-worst economy, all key metrics used in CNBC’s America’s Top States for Business 2014. Connecticut actually fell four places from last year in the cost of doing business. Only California, Hawaii, and New York are more expensive.

categories CNBC uses to measure state business climates, with two top 10 rankings for education (fifth, unchanged from last year) and access to capital (seventh, up from 19th).

tax cuts helping reduce business costs, payoffs from investments in transportation and infrastructure, and a big drop in the cost of living. Moving the needle

Recent progress To be fair, the CNBC study was prepared earlier this year, using data that did not reflect Connecticut’s progress in several areas, including recent job growth, initiatives to reduce energy costs, and regulatory reforms.

Nonetheless, the road out of the bottom five is a long and challenging one, as Rhode Island is learning. After CNBC ranked the state 50th in 2012, lawmakers and economic development officials mounted a concerted effort to reverse the state’s economic fortunes.

And the creation of a commission that will begin reviewing the state’s tax structure later this year presents a real opportunity to improve Connecticut’s economic competitiveness.

Last year. Rhode Island lawmakers passed 28 “Moving the Needle” bills, overhauling the state’s economic development office, expanding job training, and reforming regulations. Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council executive director John Simmons says the state takes national business rankings seriously, because “they have merit.”

Our economy fell from 39th to second-worst, only better than Alaska.

“We use them as benchmarks,” he told CNBC, “because they measure what people believe is important. We found that we needed to make some substantive changes over time to our business climate.”

As for cost of living, our ranking was unchanged—48th, ahead of only Hawaii and New York. CNBC ranked Georgia number one, up from eighth in 2013, with Texas (2), Utah (5), Nebraska (4), and North Carolina (12) rounding out this year’s top five states.

However, Rhode Island finished worst again this year. Says Simmons: “You can’t change the environment—the ecosystem of the business climate here—instantaneously.”

Massachusetts ranked highest of the Northeast states, despite falling nine spots to 25th, followed by New Hampshire (30th), New York (40th), Vermont (42nd), New Jersey (43rd), Pennsylvania (44th), and Maine (45th).

Voter priorities

Perception “Unfortunately, these rankings reinforce the perception that Connecticut is not a good place to do business,” says CBIA president and chief executive officer John Rathgeber.

CBIA and dozens of other professional and community organizations earlier this year launched the CT20x17 campaign, designed to move Connecticut into the top 20 states in the CNBC and other national rankings by 2017.

“It’s critical that we address those areas that are hampering economic growth, particularly the high cost of doing business, taxes, government red tape, and our aging transportation infrastructure.

States that made dramatic improvements in the latest CNBC rankings did so based on policymakers making conscious decisions to improve their business climates.

“At the same time, we must continue leveraging and investing in areas where we are strong, such as education and talent, a skilled and productive workforce, technology and innovation, and access to capital.”

Washington, for instance, climbed 14 spots to seventh this year, a performance driven by several factors, including significant reductions in the cost of doing business, improvements in infrastructure and transportation, and a surging economy.

Connecticut ranked in the bottom 10 in four of the 10

North Carolina jumped from 12th to fifth this year, with

CBIA’s Rathgeber called this year’s elections—with races for all General Assembly seats, statewide offices, and the Governor’s office—a critical opportunity for raising awareness about improving the state’s business climate. “Connecticut’s economy and job growth are the top priorities for the state’s voters going into the elections this November,” he said. “And voters must engage candidates at every level and ask them about their plans for promoting economic growth and accelerating job creation. “This is not just a business issue. Changing the state’s business climate will attract much needed investment, kick start our economy, and create more opportunities and a brighter future for everyone.”  Read more at gov.cbia.com
