Processing and Value Adding

Respondents were asked:
Over the next decade, do you see Vermont having more, or less, local processing and manufacturing of solid and composite wood products like those used for construction and home furnishings?
SCALE: -5 = Significantly less; 0 = Same; 5 = Significantly more

Key things to note:

There is a wide spread of responses, however the clear majority of respondents feel that there will be the same amount of local processing and manufacturing of solid and composite wood products, over the next decade.
There was equal representation of views that there will be both less and more local processing and manufacturing of solid and composite wood products over the next decade.
