Enfield GOP Lawmakers React to LEGO HQ Move

Rep. Carol Hall and Sen. John A. Kissel  issued the following statements regarding LEGO Group’s announcement that it will move its headquarters in the Americas from Enfield to Boston.

“While the news of LEGO’s move doesn’t come as a complete shock, it’s still disappointing that a great community partner who has been a fixture in our community for almost fifty years has chosen to move their operations to a neighboring state,” Rep. Hall said. “Hopefully, Connecticut will take this unfortunate news as an opportunity to reflect on what we are doing as a state to retain and attract new businesses.”

“The news is disappointing, and we as lawmakers need to learn important lessons from it,” said Sen. Kissel. “We need to assess the reasons LEGO is leaving and make positive changes to our state’s public policies in response.  We should view this as a teachable moment to make Connecticut more affordable and more appealing to businesses like LEGO.”
