On Jan. 21, State Senator Norm Needleman (D-33) was appointed Senate vice chair of the Planning & Development Committee in the Connecticut General Assembly by Senate President Martin M. Looney (D-11). As a condition of this appointment, Needleman will step down from his position as Senate vice chair of the Banking Committee.

Needleman’s appointment to this committee is in addition to his existing roles as Senate chair of the Energy & Technology Committee and membership in the Commerce Committee; Finance, Revenue & Bonding Committee; and Transportation Committee.

“I look forward to starting work on the Planning & Development Committee, working to improve and streamline processes to assist our state’s municipalities and support further development in Connecticut,” said Needleman. “I would like to thank Senator Looney for his appointment and am excited to continue my work in the upcoming legislative session.”
