Meet Kevin O’Connor, New Canaan’s New Parking Manager [Q&A]

By |

Kevin O’Connor has taken over as parking manager in New Canaan, succeeding longtime and highly respected department head Stacy Miltenberg (who retired) in the role. We put some questions to O’Connor by way of introducing him to the community at this time of transition in the paid parking system downtown. 

Here’s our exchange. ***

New Canaanite: Tell us a little bit about your own professional background. Kevin O’Connor: My background includes experience in various disciplines, such as information technology, communications, and project management in the private, public, and non-profit sectors. In New Canaan, I worked at the Glass House for seven years as an educator, as well as supporting both the director of communications and the curatorial team at the Glass House on various projects essential to that organization.

Letter: Glass House a ‘Good Partner in New Canaan’

By |

Dear Mr. Dinan,

The Glass House is an important asset to New Canaan that attracts many people from all over the country and the world who come to visit and appreciate the beauty of architecture and art on site. These visitors in turn are a revenue generator for our businesses in town that are so vital to this community. I’m fortunate to have been able to appreciate the Glass House from two perspectives, first living in town admiring and visiting the Glass House, and second to work there. It’s a well-run organization of dedicated people whose love of historic preservation fosters so many goals of its parent, The National Trust for Historic Preservation. This includes stewardship and education for preservation projects throughout the country as well as preserving the beauty of the Glass House site.
