Reconnecting Hartford And Its Waterfront

Michael Zaleski took over June 15 as CEO of Riverfront Recapture, a nonprofit organization that gives people more reasons to visit the Connecticut River. The group manages four riverfront parks in Hartford and East Hartford, sponsors dozens of festivals and organizes recreational activities including a community rowing program.
