Is anyone aware of any creative or unusual steps, being taken by entities or individuals, to attract Federal Employees, new to the area to relocate to Berlin. Are any local financial institutions or anyone offering financial incentives for these individuals and their families to perhaps move to Berlin and perhaps rehabilitate an old property?

Fixing/upgrading the transmission line "problem" is crucial to many many peoples and is at the top of the lists of a very diverse cross section of diverse peoples, locally and state wide, perpetrating like that will never be achieved is an insult to those individuals championing that end. Any company and their financial partners, investing in the region, are probably aware of those challenges and feel the risks are reasonable.

One window is closed but a much larger window and a heck of a lot of other windows are open those windows are being ignored.

The first step sometimes is admitting you have a problem. Financing is approved for this project and the contingencies that have been negotiated are goals both entities believe are achieveable. At very least they are they the new Lourds of Stinky Towne Manour and speaking humbly, respectfully and positively with our masters may not be a bad idea. "Read my lips, I did not have sex with that women"! "Read my lips, just because they have a contract, have applied to ISO NEngland, have approved financing and the political backing of city hall and the state government, they are never going to own that site or be successfull". The reality is they already do own it.... there is a contract, a plan and now financing and every day the plan apears to stall or delay there is also another company preparing to pick up the reins....

Not fully funded but ladened with contingencies that will be hard to meet. Nice attempt to bounce stock value back, but so far has back fired. No real news is good news.

Congratulations to our new neighbour, Lailaw energy group. Let us all remember who brought them here against the will of the majority and may we all, now, be wise enough to be cordial and work for the best end scenario for the city. At very least, plant trees and improve the appearance of the site.

The following is a link to a blog which focuses a great deal on Laidlaw from an investor's perspective as he/she watches things unfold with Berlin citizen opinion, vs. Laidlaw investor hype. This really provides an unbiased outside perspective of what is going on in the real world of a savvy investor's perspective on things in my opinion. I encourage everyone to open this link.

Nice article that sums up the transmission line problem. Green energy development in the North Country will obviously be hindered until this issue is resolved.
