2 New Small Businesses Open In Oxford, Gov. Lamont Visits

OXFORD, CT — Gov. Ned Lamont stopped in Oxford on Tuesday to join First Selectman George Temple in welcoming two new tenants to the newly built office/medical buildings in the Center Rock Green section of Quarry Walk.

The Spa at Quarry Walk is owned by Lesley Shepherd and Steve Simoncic both from Oxford. They are excited to offer the town a place to unwind and relax from the everyday hustle and bustle. Lesley, a Certified Esthetician, said the spa will offer massage therapy, facials and waxing. The Spa at Quarry Walk is open for business Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Haley Addis, a certified Speech- Language Pathologist, is the owner of More to Say, LLC. which is a private, pediatric speech, language, and feeding therapy center.

Temple said, “I am very happy and honored to welcome More to Say to Oxford. I know that Haley will do well and wish her the best.” Bill Purcell, the President of the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce stated, “Haley is an ambitious person. She is raising a family and launching a business, while finishing her studies. I wish her well.” Hayley was joined by her husband Jordan, her two children and her Mom and Dad.

Temple thanked Lamont for being there to demonstrate his concern for small businesses. Temple stated “I am not just referring to Oxford, but to the whole state of Connecticut. It is important to forget about the partisanship, which is something that I have done here in town. We have to forget that there are Democrats and Republicans and that we are the people of Connecticut and citizens of Oxford. We must all work together for the same goals."
