U
tilities. Roads. L eaders. Businesses. Residents. These are some of the many necessary components of a town or city.
But what makes a community? It’s more than these tangible things. And to make a great community takes so much more. This idea of “more” is something that the Town of Windsor seems to have fii figured out. The town is growing by leaps and bounds in terms of things like population numbers and construction. But it seems to be growing smartly, in a way that is pleasing to both newcomers and rooted residents. “II really think that in creating a great community like Windsor, people have worked together. It’s the commitment of the people who have lived here for years and the commitment of the people coming in,” said Sandi Squicquero, owner of Medical Hypnosis, a long-time Windsor business.“IIt ’ss the commitment to establish roots and a partnership with the community, either starting a new business or supporting those already here.”
