NORWICH – Long-time executive director of the Norwich Business Improvement District Pegi LoPresti officially resigned Friday, and the organization’s board of directors is hoping to fill the position by the end of October.

According to BID Board of Directors President Tom Sutton, he and his fellow board members are currently in the process of reviewing a number of applications for the position. He added they’ve received “a healthy supply” of applications and are sorting through a strong pool of candidates.

“It’s such a unique position,” said Sutton. “It’s classified as part-time, but it’s so much more than that.”
