Lamont Joined In Sandy Hook By Local, State, And Federal Leaders To Recognize Small Businesses, Reopening Steps

State, federal, and local officials all convened in Sandy Hook Friday afternoon, March 19, where they celebrated the successful launch of a small business during a pandemic, another step for the state toward full reopening, and a national milestone that was reached ahead of schedule.
Governor Ned Lamont, Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz, and US Senator Richard Blumenthal were welcomed by Aquila’s Nest co-owners Neviana Zhgaba and Ardian Llomi for an afternoon press conference at their Sandy Hook vineyard. The event also highlighted local business partnerships that have already been formed since the opening of the Pole Bridge Road vineyard in October.
