Overview

‘Looking local first’ for goods and services

Taking a “look local first” approach that began with Vineyard Wind 1, we strive to bring in local businesses as suppliers and contractors. This applies to project development, construction, and operations in terms of procurement, vessel contracting, and hiring practices, as well as those of our major contractors, original equipment manufacturers, and suppliers.

Making connections with local businesses

We work with chambers of commerce and economic development agencies to make connections with local firms. We host “meet the buyer” events to raise awareness of business opportunities with our suppliers, work with Oceantic Network to provide training for local businesses, and hire fishing vessels for support on the water.
