Jobs For Connecticut Now

From today’s Republican-American: A state-sponsored investment company has awarded $1 million to a Torrington company that is building a new type of windmill on a nearby farm.

Connecticut Innovations announced on Wednesday its investment in Optiwind Corp. as part of its campaign to encourage clean energy in the state.

“We want to help this Torrington company create cutting edge, green technology jobs right here in Connecticut,” Gov. M. Jodi Rell said in the announcement. “At the same time, we can help Optiwind to advance its efforts to address climate change. This state investment is a win-win scenario.”
