AdvanceCT: Everything Old is New Again.

The Nokia 8800 must have been out of camera range. The Connecticut Economic Resource Center (CERC) is now AdvanceCT. The organization features a museum of ancient office technology in its latest announcement. That fax machine on the left in the photo above may have arrived in a box when George W. Bush was president.

AdvanceCT’s mission is to work “in collaboration with the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD), AdvanceCT strives to build a place where business, government, higher education, and nonprofits come together to implement high impact and inclusive economic development solutions for the state.”

AdvanceCT may be part of Lamont’s Partnership to Advance Connecticut’s Tomorrow (PACT), or it may not be. PACT has gone missing. Governor Ned Lamont’s economic development renovations may be in some disarray. Shhh, don’t say anything that might be seen as badmouthing Connecticut. Send a fax instead.
