At this point in Connecticut's history, economic development should be the premeire consideration. If it isn't, Connecticut will lose the Fortune 1000 companies that are responsible for the high standard of living in the state. I highly recommend this alternative view.

Some day Beer Beer, I would love to, honestly, but over a beer as these subjects always degrade into lef vs right political crapola 
at least with a beer and the benefit of gestures, vocal tones and facial expressions there is a chance for a more productive and humorous discussion. Something the internet has destroyed for the most part.
More after I read your PDF
Not to completely discount that PDF, but you are aware that this organization is an industry puppet for developers right?
The president is the head of development at Konover and the board also includes the CT builders association president!
This reminds me of colberts SuperPAC
anyways, I am very supportive of intelligent development and I absolutely support policy that encourages more development in CT, but I do not want this to be in the form of a strip mall in every town nor do I want it to be autocentric.
I would love to see our state truely embrace urbanity in the cities, and rural living in the country and in the in between make sure that suburbs are sustainable and respectful in their growth. Suburbs are not evil, they just need to be kept in check and they need to not be wasteful. meaning space, resorces, services, energy etc...

Looks like more first 5 announcements might be coming our way.
Did they only give out 4 last year? and one was retracted so its netted to 3?
Cigna
ESPN
NBC Sports
Ticket Network-retracted
Was there another?
Also, very interesting to note from the article as paraphrased below:
The administration of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy hints that there are possible deals in the offing to bring large out-of-state businesses to Connecticut, The Waterbury Republican American reports.
Catherine Smith, head of the DECD is disclosed that they are looking to close some more First Five deals during a monthly meeting Tuesday of agency heads. She did not say how many, but indicated more than one.
You got my attention!
