HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut-made products from craft beer to circuit boards will soon sport a logo touting their origin.
State lawmakers on Wednesday unveiled the new “Connecticut Made” mark and encouraged businesses and industry leaders to use the red, white and blue logo as a promotional tool.
Stamford Rep. Caroline Simmons, the Democratic House chairman of the General Assembly’s Commerce Committee, says the concept is a simple and effective way to showcase products made in Connecticut and help support local jobs.
The concept is similar to the Connecticut Grown label, which promotes local agriculture.
