Plainfield native Jason Vincent recalled as visionary in town he loved

PLAINFIELD Jason Vincent, the former Norwich Community Development Corp. president who died recently, has been lauded by Norwich business owners, community advocates and city officials for his work in the city, but the 46-year-old got his start in Plainfield, a town he grew up in and later helped improve during his stint as town planner. Former First Selectman Paul Sweet said Vincent came into his office in 1996, one of several candidates applying for an open town planner job. “I had seven interviews that day and none of them had risen to what I was looking for,” Sweet said. “So I told them to ‘send in the kid,’ my last interview of the day. He sat with me for an hour and his enthusiasm alone was enough to get my attention. He just had a vision.”
