Across Vermont we are building alliances and developing a constituency for a robust Vermont economy. To capitalize on the foundation of data and research we’ve built, we are leading the development of a unified and durable statewide economic plan. We are taking a data-informed and collaborative approach to produce a set of quantifiable goals that will inform policy and strategy on a state and local level. 

The framework that emerged from our research of regional economic plans and data is that Vermont’s future depends on people and places. We need to grow the population and create more housing to strengthen our economy, scale up our impact on sustainability, and make progress on social equity.
