A Message From

Every Spring season brings us a new feeling of rejuvenation. Michael J. Freda
This rejuvenation can be a powerful component that helps First Selectman
us exude both a new energy level, and continued focus on
trying to accomplish our goals and objectives and to never
give up. Among these 15 concerts, we will still have many of your
favorites but we are also adding some very popular tribute
Here in North Haven, the spring season represents a bands that will include:
metaphor for the energy level that we will always have to The Bruce Springsteen Tribute band
accomplish goals and objectives, and to also be immune to
the many setbacks that often occur in Government. The Journey Tribute band
The Billy Joel Tribute band
One example of a set back was the loss of the DSW shoe The Bon Jovi Tribute band
store here about 2 years ago. What happened was that The Steely Dan Tribute band
another plaza, in another town, offered DSW half of the rent Soul, Pop and Motown
structure that DSW was paying to the national real estate
plaza owner here on Universal Drive in North Haven. I recognize that each of you work very hard to support and
raise your families and it has been my goal to try to expand
Although it took almost 2 years of sheer determination, this concert series with even more recognizable bands
we were able to attract the new retailer that I recently because I can see clearly how many people enjoy being on
announced, the very popular HOME GOODS store. There our Town Green on Tuesday night’s during the summer.
will be a great deal of work to be done on the inside of that
old store to prepare for the opening of HOME GOODS And on a personal note, I truly enjoy being with each and

the summer!

Sincerely,
