WCSH story on GrowSmart report cites UNE as successful public investment

The University of New England was cited as an example of the success of public investment in an innovation-focused economy in a WCSH6 news story on a new report released by GrowSmart Maine.

In the story GrowSmart Board member Bonita Pothier offers examples like the Jackson Laboratory and the University of New England, in which community investment has made a world of a difference.  She says, "I look at the work they're doing and at how maine people supported their efforts and provided funding for them, and we lead internationally in some efforts, and it's happening here in Maine; to me that's extraordinary."
