Our data dashboard is organized into the six categories below representing the early phases of the Vermont Futures Project. These six categories were the original pillars for a healthy Vermont economy.
The data found in this dashboard will remain on our site as an archived resource as we transition to a new data visualization platform. During this transition, many of these archived data sets will not be updated with the latest available data.
If you need the latest available data for a visualization in our archive, please contact us and we will try to assist you with your data request within reason.
