The Peterson Business Wing is located on the Main Level of the Library. Funds for construction of this wing and its endowment were the generous gift of Clementine Lockwood Peterson, whose bequest funded the Business Library in memory of her husband, J. Whitney Peterson. Business materials and databases are paid for by funds from the Town of Greenwich and the Peterson Foundation.
This fall, the Library will partner with the CT Women’s Business Development Council to launch a new series for women entrepreneurs, including one-on-one coaching and a monthly lunch and learn series. This month’s speaker is WBDC’s Executive Director Fran Pastore who’ll provide an update on the state of women’s business in CT.
