BOZRAH On Sunday night, many people from Eastern Connecticut gathered on the grounds of the Bozrah Farmers Market to remember a man important to all of them; former Norwich Community Development Corp. (NCDC) President Jason Vincent.
A Celebration of Life for Jason Vincent, complete with speeches, poems, candles and a benediction, was held in his honor.
Vincent, who died in December at age 46, was remembered as a genius for his natural talent at planning and thinking ahead for solutions, from his work as a municipal employee for Norwich and Stonington, and as contractor, to proposing a rail project when he was only a teenager to his hometown of Plainfield. He was also remembered as a kind conversationalist who cared about people s problems.

Norwich The Norwich Community Development Corp. hopes to identify potential candidates for the president’s position by mid-March and already has received one letter of interest before the position has been advertised.
The NCDC board’s search committee plans to advertise soon for the position, using a job description similar to the one used to hire President Jason Vincent, who died Dec. 30 in an apparent suicide in West Virginia. Applications will be due by March 5, and the search committee hopes to review the responses by March 20. The person who already has submitted a letter of intent will be invited to apply formally.
