I would think public records law trumps an NDA between the company and a town in Massachusetts. Submit a public records request to your town / city govt and follow up with AG's office if you get no response.

Towns in general can offer incentives for businesses to come in and develop. It's a nice little premium that can help make the first year ROI nice.

Normally though there's a clause somewhere that if they don't produce, they have the regular taxes to pay and will get charged starting at x year. I forget the place you can find most of them but I'm sure a call to your BoS could get some info.

i don't think this is shady necessarily, just really, really miscalculated. i feel like the MO of tech companies is to dump a bunch of cash on some moonshot thing, find out a year or two in it probably wasn't worth it, and then just cut it/leave it in disrepair. thats the feeling im getting from this situation.

I mean by my estimation in this region Big Y is behind Stop and Stop, Shaws/ Star Market, market Basket, and buying groceries at Walmart. Impressive that local media is Controlled by Big Y. I mean sure I’d rather support local grocers or farmers markets or whatever, and I didn’t think of them as saints or anything, but it seemed like a fine place to stop in to pick up supplies for dinner on the way home from work. There isn’t even one in my area now, but I’d be interested in knowing what makes them any worse than say Shaws, or Stop and Shop.

It would help to know your wills and your wonts. For example as a prison guard you’ll make good money ($75k) and get a pension after 20 years but you may not want to do that kind of work. I know law enforcement is looking for women for all roles not just police so think trial court officers too.

You could make $100/hr as an underwater welder but that means welding and diving experience. But that’s got a death rate of like one out of seven people.

Are you looking for an office type job, inside/outside work, do you have a clean driving record for a trucking job?
