I had mentioned something similar to my team at one point for the entire New England region because I know that many teams in the NE region have financial trouble, mine included. The reason I believe the decline is occuring is because business is going else where....ok yea we have Boston and a few other larger economic areas but once your out in the country (at least the area I live) theres only small companies. I can speak for my team in saying that if BAE hadnt given us the grant this year we would not have competed.
