Creating Jobs Through Investment in Clean Technology
The best way to encourage job creation is to leverage capital investment in research, development and commercialization of clean technology. There are three Research and Economic Development bond proposals before the Maine Legislature in 2012 that the Environmental Health Strategy Center supports to keep Maine’s economy moving forward, and take advantage of new opportunies in sustainable bio-based manufacturing.
