As a business reporter, I write about small businesses opening and closing, manufacturing, food and drink, labor issues and economic data. I particularly love writing about the impact of state and federal policy on local businesses. I also do some education reporting, covering colleges in southeastern Connecticut and regional K-12 issues.

NORWICH For businesses in the Rose City, an opportunity to get some help is coming soon.
Beginning the first week of February, businesses in Norwich will be able to apply for part of the Community Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Office Small Business Assistance funds. The City of Norwich’s Development Office will be distributing the money to businesses in the city as a part of the second round of CDBG-CV funding.
There is a total of $219,569 available in funding for COVID-19 relief, and a business approved for the grant could receive up to $10,000. The money is expected to have a 30-day turnaround.

Waterford Last Sunday, Crystal Mall s interior was almost as quiet and sparsely populated as its parking lot. Macy’s recently had announced it would be closing its mall location, and placards denoting 25%, 40%, 50%, sometimes 60% off dotted the store and the clearance sale wasn t scheduled to start until the next day.
Families, couples, solo shoppers and the customary groups of high schoolers meandered around the mall in search of deals or, as some said, in an attempt to prevent boredom.
Many stores in the mall have adopted limited hours since the COVID-19 pandemic began, if not closed entirely, leaving the future of the mall in question.
