[1] In 1949 Angelo Sr was injured in a tragic accident at the Group’s Plainville quarry and died in 1952 leaving the next generation to take over the company.

After WWII the company capitalized on the growth of Suburbia in Connecticut by building roads and highways to support the new patterns of development.

[2] Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s the group benefited from a close relationship between the Tomasso family and Connecticut Governor John G. Rowland.

[9] Rowland was forced from office after it emerged that the Tomasso Group and other state contracts had made free improvements to the Governor’s Bantam Lake “cottage” in Litchfield.

[8] Rowland’s birthday party and annual golf tournament were held at the Group’s Tunxis Country Club.

[17] TBI admitted to improperly making business deductions for personal expenses charged by Tomasso, Ellef, and their families.

The lack of a trial meant that the inner workings of the racketeering scheme were not detailed in court saving the Tomasso Group significant embarrassment.

[19] In 2017 the Tomasso Group sold the Medical Arts Center at The Hartford Healthcare Cancer Institute for $30.2 million to a publicly traded REIT.
