When a company considers where to locate or expand, one of
the key factors is government incentives – like tax breaks or infrastructure
projects. We look at how Vermont’s business incentive programs compare with
other states, and whether we get back in job growth what we put out through
incentives.

Our guests include Fred
Kenney, who oversees the state’s incentives program, and Jack Hoffman with the Public Assets Institute. 
We also hear from companies who have benefited from the incentives, such
as Earl Laurie with AirBoss Defense, and Mark Bonfigli with Dealer.com Listen

Also, on Town Meeting Day, residents
in the Northeast Kingdom town of Lowell will vote whether to endorse Vermont’s largest wind energy
project to date.  We get an update
on the project from Burlington Free Press environmental reporter Candace Page. Listen
