Trade Opportunities

A direct flight between Bradley and Jamaica would increase travel and economic opportunities. I would also like to see the Connecticut Port Authority pursue opportunities to increase cargo ship traffic with Caribbean states.

We should pursue every opportunity to expand Connecticut’s presence in the import/export market. When we created the Connecticut Port Authority this past year, this was exactly the type of opportunity we were forecasting. Connecticut’s ports and airports are keys to economic growth.

This was an important introduction and our conversations will continue.
