January 16, 2015 Anne Riccio Park Hardware Co,, Ine. 415 Park St Hartford, CT 06126 Dear Ms. Riccio: Since | arrived two years ago, the Department of Development Services has undergone a seties of institutional and philosophical changes in order to make sure we are more responsive to the needs expressed by our customers. During my time in Hartford, I have worked closely with the development community and it is clear there is a desire for our city’s developers and suppliers to work together more closely on planning and executing projects. In order to help Hartford based enterprises facilitate new business opportunities, my department is beginning a series of industry specific conferences that we hope will connect the city’s business leaders, provide access to government decision-makers, enhance understanding of the city’s economic climate, and provide updates on city-managed projects. Please join me and my staff on Thursday, January 29" at 3080 Main Street for our first Developer's Conference, The program will begin at 8:00am and conclude by 11:00am. We will be joined by representatives from the area’s development firms and suppliers — we hope to see you there. —Sincerely, a ‘Thomas E.
