I can't resist. We are here with tech jobs waiting.

Edit: On the article: COL is similar to Boston in Brattleboro (for the nice lifestyle that we expect as devs) but in different areas. You need a car for any real transportation and while rents and house prices are less other things are more (internet, heat, etc). There are 3-4 cafes not hundreds. There is a surprising amount of art and theater events and you discover that folks do some amazing things here in the woods. e.g. Parts for the Mars Rovers were made 100ft from my desk. My kids can take circus classes from former Circ du Soleil leads down the street. As a kid I took ski jumping lessons a mile from here from a Olympic medalist. And folks have weird job histories. The woman who runs the stables where my daughter takes horse back riding lessons was a developer on HP-UX in the early days

The grant is only for people who work for a company based outside of Vermont.

Sigh... That is just absurd. Our company is domiciled here but nearly all our income comes from outside the state so we provide the same economic benefit. Even if the state wouldn't pay moving expenses I'm sure we would for the right candidates.

I was fortunate enough to pass through Brattleboro once and I have to agree, it is a beautiful charming little town. I would love to go back sometime.
