THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTENDED iQUILT EVENTS ON JANUARY 10
The iQuilt Partnership would like to thank everyone who attended the two events on January 10: Metro Hartford Alliance’s Rising Star Breakfast featuring Mayor Pedro Segarra (read the Mayor's speech here) and an iQuilt presentation by Doug Suisman; and the iQuilt presentation in front of the Planning and Zoning Commission held at the Library. The feedback from both events has been positive and enthusiastic. Stay tuned for more.
"The iQuilt plan is the perfect symbol of what Hartford must aspire to if it is to be the municipality every other city and town in Connecticut looks to as an example of innovation and rebirth. At its core, iQuilt is a testament to collaboration, seamlessly linking Hartford’s cultural assets in a way that promotes engagement. More importantly, it will drive talent attraction and retention, which is crucial if we are to be the city in which everyone in the state takes pride. It is my hope that this spirit of collaboration will take hold beyond iQuilt, beyond Downtown to every corner of our city."
- Mayor Pedro Segarra, Rising Star Speech, January 10, 2012
