YES! I support 30% local hiring with the Local Hiring Ordinance. We need development that benefits Somerville residents and gives them:

-Jobs: The ordinance sets aside 30% of permanent and construction jobs for Somerville residents

-Training: The ordinance sets up a “first source hiring system” to train and keep track of qualified workers

-An Opportunity: The ordinance gives 10% of jobs and apprenticeships to disadvantaged workers
