WILLISTON, VT -- 04/02/09 -- What began as a homegrown company in Steve Arms tiny Burlington apartment 22 years ago has grown into one of the countrys leading manufacturers of wireless sensor technology.

Now based in Williston, MicroStrain has continued growing, even in an uncertain economy. As Arms, the companys president and CEO, recently told the Observer, MicroStrains success could not have happened without crucial state aid. In recent years, the company has received funds from the Vermont Training Program and the Vermont Economic Development Authority. The money has enabled MicroStrains staff to grow and become experts in the field, Arms said.

"That state aid has helped us greatly," Arms said. "It allows us to do a better job and to make us a stronger company."
