Addressing Public Policy with Innovation and Entrepreneurship Recommendations

Since the release of our public policy recommendations for innovation and entrepreneurship , we have been working with the Vermont Chamber lobbying team to move forward with potential legislative initiatives. We are working on legislation to offer a competitive grant program to provide professional assistance to help entrepreneurs developing SBIR grants, patenting, and commercialization. We are also working to reduce the time between filing a commercial variance request and the first hearing as this has lengthened greatly in some towns.
