Keating visits Vineyard Rotary Club
Blue economy and seasonal visas discussed.
U.S. Rep. Bill Keating speaks to Rotarians on Wednesday via Zoom.
U.S. Rep. Bill Keating visited the Rotary Club of Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday via Zoom, and fielded a number of questions from club members. Keating was bullish about the Massachusetts blue economy, especially on the south coast, the Cape, and the Islands. Keating said he expected those areas, which his district encompasses, “will be the hub of a blue or marine economy.”
“We’ve got the infrastructure in place all through our district,” he said. “We have the Woods Hole [Oceanographic] Institute, we have SMAST [School for Marine Science and Technology] at UMass … we have Mass Maritime, we have the community colleges Bristol, CCCC [Cape Cod Community College].” He also pointed to ACE MV’s wind technician program.
