How would you grade Gov. Maura Healey’s support of Central Massachusetts businesses in her tenure thus far?
Choices
Poll Description

More than one year has passed since Gov. Maura Healey was sworn in as the 73rd governor of Massachusetts. Since then, Healey has spoken extensively about her commitment to attracting, retaining, and growing business in the state. To accomplish that goal, Healey and her administration have proposed and enacted several initiatives including granting Central Massachusetts manufacturing businesses $600,000, allocating $458,000 to businesses training the disabled workforce, and most notably, filing the $3.5-billion Mass Leads Act aimed at bolstering the state’s life sciences, climatetech, and applied artificial intelligence industries. 

At the same time, the Central Massachusetts Business Confidence Index dropped to 45.9 in April, the second lowest score in the index's history, reflecting declined views regarding the region's economic outlook.
