2023 was a year to watch, 2024 will be one to remember! Looking forward to a happy, healthy and prosperous new year! Thank you to Skyler Frazer and the Hartford Business Journal for a great follow up on the year my good friend Tiana Victoria Hercules, Esq. MBA and I have had in our cannabis ventures.
We have a big year ahead of us at Fine Fettle with new retail locations and a 45,000+ sq ft cultivation facility on the way. Very thankful for the impact focused partnerships that we’ve stuck up with community partners in disproportionally impacted communities across CT, and looking forward to driving home further change as we work together grows.
Lastly a shout out to our team in Manchester, and across the evergrowing led by our dynamic COO Ben Zachs, what an incredible year! Thank you all, and I’m excited by what the next 365 holds.
Happy New Year!!!

“A new base is being raised in a key battleground of Connecticut's opioid epidemic: the bustling Park Street corridor where drug deaths in Hartford are most concentrated.” -The Hartford Courant 12/16/19
Greater Hartford Harm Reduction Coalition Inc.
Harm reduction center opening off Park Street, an ‘epicenter’ of drug deaths in both Hartford and Connecticut A new harm reduction center with a needle exchange and other services is opening in a key battleground of Connecticut’s opioid epidemic, the bustling Park Street corridor that accounts for the highest incidence of drug deaths in not only Hartford but the state.
As the national fight against opioid deaths and harm rages on, Hartford’s Frog Hollow neighborhood has become the state of Connecticut’s “Ground Zero”. Boasting the highest rate of opioid overdose deaths, disproportionate amounts of drug-related activity, and high rates of HIV infection, advocates have rallied together to propose that a “Harm Reduction Center” be placed in the community.
The advocates have identified two, currently shuttered parcels on Park St., as potential sites for the Frog Hollow “Harm Reduction Center” and have pointed to the nationally-recognized model that the Greater Hartford Harm Reduction Coalition Inc. has employed at their 557 Albany Avenue location dubbed The Drop Resource Centers By GHHRC.
“Our priority is saving lives,” said GHHRC’s founder and Executive Director Mark Jenkins.“We have the experience, expertise, wherewithal and the trust of the community. We know that proximity and connection are key to saving lives and reversing the debilitating effects of addiction. We’ve me with Mayor Bronin, the head of the Hartford Department of Health and Human Services, the Commissioner of the State Department of Public Health, leadership of Hartford Hospital, the Frog Hollow NRZ, and so many others and now we’re asking the City Council for its help and support in saving lives.”
