Happy 200

This is the 200th item on Newburyport Posts. Thanks again for reading.

Regarding the need for an economic development director, laid out in Stephen Tait's article here, does anyone think this should be a regional, rather than community effort.

I understand that we can't share in the benefits, a new business to Amesbury won't help Newburyport's revenue and visa versa. But there has to be a benefit to taking a regional approach about this. If this entire corner of Mass. is vital and attractive to industry, then I think Amesbury, Salisbury and Newburyport all will benefit.

Can we each kick in money for a full-time person? Or does it need to be done by each community.

I favor the former.
