According to our most recent SiteNet "What's Your Take?" poll, when asked what one thing you would change to make your home territory a more competitive location for business and industry, more than 32 percent of you said "build a better work force." Next in line? "Lower the overall tax burden on companies."
Our new question asks, "Does the United States need a national incentive policy in order to compete for corporate projects?"
