Gov. M. Jodi Rell visited GSS Industries in Waterbury June 9 and met with owner George Strobel and his wife Mary Jane. The Strobel family has been doing business in Connecticut for more than 40 years. The governor had just signed a bill that she says will reform the state’s permitting process and expedite job creation by breaking through bureaucratic backlogs without undermining environmental protections.
