Manufacturers won’t move here. VT cannot afford them. You need to pay huge tax concessions (like this dumass program). If a mfr. start here, they won’t stay (VCFA, Burton etc).

This program will get applicants like OP, that move here for other reasons and get the 10 grand as a bonus. VT is an unaffordable state but the USA has major economic issues that it’s ignoring.
