The Courant Came Calling Posted on May 22nd

Good news folks: I am going to be writing regularly about business and industry for The Hartford Courant, Connecticut's flagship newspaper. You can find my first Courant story, a profile of ProMold Plastics and the Middletown-area plastics industry, in today's edition. In connection with my move to the Courant, I have ceased writing "Industrial Strength" for The Hartford Business Journal. But don't worry, IS fans: I will be covering many of the same issues in the Courant. An archive of my newer columns is available here; an archive of my older columns is here.
