Marlborough committee recommends tax deal for wind company

Marlborough recommends the tax incentive proposal, amount not stated, for Vestas, the world's largest manufacturer of utility-scale wind turbines.  With this partial property tax exemption comes the promise of jobs and involvement in K-12 STEM education programs.

[Mark] Buschenfeldt said Vestas employs 22,000 employees across 65 countries and five continents and controls about 15 percent of the global wind technology market. He said the Marlborough facility would be used to research, develop and test generators used in Vestas turbines.  ..."Vestas is truly a global company," he said. "This is the future and I'm really pleased to have a headquarters here in Marlborough."  [Full Article: Wicked Local Hudson]
