Another company, TapestryHealth, is using advanced technology to bring caregivers to patients' bedsides around the clock. And MindNest Health is working to teach parents and other caregivers to help children with behavioral issues. Area manufacturers are working to improve the industry's future. e South-Central Manufacturing Industry Partnership aims to boost the manufacturing industry in New Haven and Middlesex counties. We sat down with one of the partnership's leaders, Marcia LaFemina, president of Penn Globe, a North Branford-based light- ing manufacturer, for her insight on the work ahead. is issue also features stories dealing with the business of law. As the state considers whether to legalize recreational marijuana, law firms have been watching the proposal's progress. It would mean not only business opportunities for entrepreneurs, but more rules for employers. Both add up to more legal work for attorneys. e pandemic led to many businesses having to close, some temporarily and others perma- nently. Many business owners looked to their insurance carriers for assistance, only to find it wasn't forthcoming. Another story in this issue delves into the business interruption litigation arising from the pandemic, and how the courts have been ruling to date. We hope you enjoy the May issue.
