Congratulations to Anthony Gaglio, Jr., who was honored with the Hartford Business Journal’s Rising Star Award. The award, which recognizes the impact and achievements of executives age 40 or younger at a family-owned business, was presented at the Journal’s 2022 Family Business Awards held on June 16 at the Farmington Gardens.

Anthony Gaglio, Jr. was nominated for this award because of his leadership roles; under his direction, Viking has seen steady growth in business, which includes work for municipalities, universities, and private organizations.
