Nashua 50: Skillsoft is still local, growing

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is another in an occasional series of stories examining 50 years of Nashua business. Stories and multimedia pieces will focus on Milestones, Hidden Assets, and Economic Engines in the city’s business community.

The $1.2 billion sale left the future of the company’s Nashua connection in question.
