Craig Colligan and his wife Teri initially purchased a cottage on W. Shell Lane in 2013 and renovated this as their weekend home. Two years later, they purchased a second cottage, also on W. Shell Lane, and began a complete renovation in anticipation of retiring to Summerplace in 2017. Craig retired several months ago following a 30-year career as a firefighter and paramedic, the last 15 years as a Captain. Craig is here 4-5 days a week, overseeing the last of the renovations, as he and Teri prepare to move into their Summerplace home in August. We are pleased to welcome Craig to the SIA Board. Craig brings extensive management experience, as well as first-hand knowledge of construction and local contractors to the Board.
