BRATTLEBORO — It’s no secret that finding staff now is difficult. “I’m hearing that across the board from lots of people — restaurants, you know, small factories,” said Greg Lesch, interim director of Brattleboro Area Chamber of Commerce, “skilled and not skilled.” Lesch said it seems to be a statewide and nationwide problem. “We hear from employers on a daily basis about the need to hire,” said Adam Grinold, executive director of the Brattleboro Development Credit Corp.
