A North Branford-based construction company has failed in a novel effort to receive an alternative punishment for several federal crimes. Instead of paying a possible $500,000 fine, Cherry Hill Construction had offered to build to homes for the Habitat for Humanity nonprofit group.
U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton rejected the proposal for corporate community service, but nevertheless cut Cherry Hill a break. She reduced the fine to $200,000, payable in installments of $5,500 per month. She also sentenced Cherry Hill to three years’ probation.
