Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty (CT-5) released the following statement about Governor Malloy's announcement Tuesday on the $500 million investment by United Technologies Corporation (UTC) in Connecticut.
"Manufacturing is the backbone of our state's economy," said Esty. "I applaud these efforts to provide certainty in our state's manufacturing and defense supply chain for Connecticut workers and their families. The opportunity for growing high-skilled, good-paying manufacturing jobs right here in our state is exciting, and I look forward to working with federal and state partners to support these initiatives moving forward."
Esty introduced three bills that support workforce development and manufacturing.
