Rick Anstey is retired CEO and current Chairman of the Board of Oxford Networks, a 110 year old communications company headquartered in Lewiston, Maine. Before telecommunications evolved into today’s competitive industry, telephone companies’ financial growth was limited by the pace of economic development in the markets they served. As a result, Rick’s interest in urbanism goes back two decades to his work on economic development in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and later in Lewiston, where Oxford Networks triggered significant urban redevelopment after relocating its headquarters to a long-neglected area of that city’s downtown. Rick also holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Kent State University. Now living in Downtown Denver, Rick is active with Union Station Advocates and until recently served on that organization’s Board of Directors as Treasurer. Rick serves as DenverInfill’s point person for the massive Union Station redevelopment project.
