I am the Director of Planning and Strategy at a family-owned commercial construction company in central Connecticut. Our business, founded by my father more than 30 years ago, has survived many economic cycles over the last three decades and has changed and evolved quite a bit in that time. Throughout the late 90s and early 2000s, we led in the restaurant construction space, with over a hundred new restaurants and dozens of renovation project in New England. When the market shifted and restaurant work slowed, we grew in retail.
