WBJ: Spilka Takes Aim At Economic Development
By Brandon Butler, Reporter
Worcester Business Journal
State Sen. Karen Spilka, D-Ashland, proposed a reorganization of the state’s business development and marketing offices in broad legislation she filed that aims to foster economic development around the state.
The legislation calls for creating new regional economic development agencies that Spilka said would be a “one-stop shop” for perspective businesses looking to locate in Massachusetts. In addition, the 105-page bill calls for the creation of a new omnibus office that would coordinate marketing efforts for all the state’s business-related quasi-public agencies.
