Women-owned businesses highlighted in Hamden for Women’s History Month

In honor of Women’s History Month, the lieutenant governor met with women-owned businesses in Hamden Tuesday, highlighting success and businesses seeking to continue to support the community they are in.

“My family always sort of fed the neighborhood, so this is natural to me and to us here,” Leli Henry, with La Isla Puerto Rican Restaurant in Hamden, said.

Henry welcomed Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz, along with local leaders like Hamden’s mayor and the Women’s Business Development Council into the restaurant that’s offering island flavor in the heart of Hamden.

“I just asked them about additional resources so it’s that important,” Henry said when talking about what is so valuable about an opportunity like this one.
