Observers of the Massachusetts offshore wind industry are getting a look at the state’s latest request for proposals, issued May 7 for a third offshore wind farm.
Westport-based offshore wind consultant Paul Vigeant, former director of the New Bedford Wind Energy Center, said one thing to watch is how much emphasis the state puts on economic development.

Jobs in the industry include manufacturing of turbine components which has not been done in the United States assembly, installation, and long-term operations and maintenance.
Vigeant said New Jersey and New York have provided incentives that attracted land-based jobs.
