Amy Perry passes leadership of Thames River Heritage Park to Catherine Foley
The Day; September 29, 2021
by Erica Mosher
Amy Perry recalled that when she first became executive director of Thames River Heritage Park and told people about her job, she got a blank stare, and still got a blank stare after adding, "We're the nonprofit that operates the water taxi on the river."
After two years, she got a blank stare at the mention of TRHP but recognition of the water taxi. Now, she said, "When I tell someone I work for the Thames River Heritage Park, I inevitably get the reply, 'I went on one of your boat tours and it was just fantastic.'"
Perry was the first director of the organization, but she is now handing over the reins to Catherine Foley as she retires.
Perry, 63, said she thinks it's time for the park to have a different kind of skill set, noting that her experience in marketing was needed when the park was starting out, but now the focus is on programming and development.

ThayerMahan to Move Forward with Headquarters Project in Groton
CT Examiner, August 25, 2021
by Cate Hewitt
GROTON — ThayerMahan told town council members on Tuesday that the company would move forward with redeveloping the Groton Heights School into the company’s headquarters. The project had been slowed for more than a year by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Richard Hine, co-founder and chief operating officer of ThayerMahan, told the Town Council Committee of the Whole that the company is rapidly outgrowing its 14,000-square foot space at 120 Leonard Drive in Groton.
“We’re a company that started in 2016 with two employees, my co-founder, Mike Connor and myself. Over the last five years, we’ve grown to 70 employees,” he said. “Our intent is to hire. Our current projections show us that about 180 employees by the end of next year.”
Hine and Connor, a thirty-five year Navy veteran and former Commander of Submarine Forces, started the company in a spare bedroom in Mystic, creating undersea solar-powered sensors and monitoring systems that gather, analyze and transmit data.

Nemeth pilots Meriden manufacturer Jonal Laboratories into new markets
New Haven Biz; August 4, 2021
By Liese Klein
For years, when it came to measuring parts at Jonal Laboratories in Meriden, a hand-held micrometer did the job.
But recently CEO Marc Nemeth invested in a table-mounted laser measuring tool that captures 1 million data points in 15 seconds — and costs $100,000.
“You have to stay ahead of the curve, the technology curve,” Nemeth said. “If you’re behind the curve, it's almost impossible to catch up.”
As the second-generation head of his family business, Nemeth has learned to constantly seek new markets for Jonal Laboratories’ products, the rubber and silicone seals used in aircraft engines, airframes and spacecraft.

CorrTech Awarded Contract for Nautilus Pier, Groton, CT
CorrTech Press Release; August 11, 2021
CorrTech has been awarded a contract to design/build a cathodic protection system to protect the Nautilus Pier in Groton, CT. The Pier is home to the Nautilus Submarine, SSN-571.
The USS Nautilus was the world’s first nuclear-powered submarine and the first vessel to transit the North Pole. The Nautilus was decommissioned in 1980 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982. The submarine is preserved at the US Navy Submarine Force Museum in Groton, CT, where visitors can tour the historic ship.
The cathodic protection system to be designed and built by CorrTech will protect the Nautilus Pier and sheet pile wall from corrosion by the use of sacrificial anodes. The cathodic protection system works in the marine environment to protect the steel from the effects of salt water corrosion.
CorrTech will be working under the Asturian Group to perform this work under its Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) with the Naval Submarine Base, New London-Groton, CT. The design work is underway, with construction scheduled to begin in November 2021
CorrTech is proud to partner with Asturian Group to help preserve this significant historic naval asset.
