Duff, Knickerbocker on Bolstering Bethel's Economy

First Selectman candidates talk economic development in our continuing interview series.

Bethel Patch sat down with November's two major party candidates for First Selectman, incumbent Matthew Knickerbocker (D) and challenger William Duff (R), to talk about the campaign, the major issues and how they can serve Bethel.

In this third post, the candidates discuss the town’s current economic state — from the Route 6 corridor to downtown — and what can be done to build Bethel’s commercial and industrial base.

Also check out the introduction from the candidates and their views on the failed Aquarion deal and the future of Bethel’s water systems.
