 <title>Innovation Valley: 3-Years of Excellence</title>
 <link>http://www.ivalley.org/content/innovation-valley-3-years-excellence</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Three cheers for the Valley Patriot on it&#039;s 5th Anniversary.  This upstart is creating a platform for new voices to be heard throughout the Merrimack Valley.  One of those new voices is us, writers of the Innovation Valley column.  For the past three years our column has been a regular feature and we are grateful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As readers of the Innovation Column know, it&#039;s goal is to highlight the world&#039;s leading initiatives for municipal business development and quality-of-life improvements.  Every month we report on a program that provides opportunities for the Merrimack Valley. &lt;/p&gt;
