The ECOS (Environment, Community, Opportunity, & Sustainability) Project (www.ecosproject.com) includes municipalities, the State and a large number of organizations working to improve our community’s most important planning documents and implement the highest priority actions.  The first phase of the ECOS Project is to review and improve the draft goals. Please visit http://ecosproject.com/goals to read more and submit comments on the goals.   

The Vermont Agency of Transportation will be holding applicant briefings for Vermont communities in counties granted a Public Assistance disaster declaration following floods from Tropical Storm Irene.   All Vermont counties received this declaration, with the exception of Grand Isle County.

Last month, a survey was sent asking employers about their current employee’s housing needs as well as how housing may be impacting companies’ ability to attract and retain workers. The survey is still open, but the deadline for responding is September 23. If you haven’t already, please spend a few minutes providing your feedback.  Take the survey. 

Remember, completing the survey enters you in a drawing for a $50 gift certificate to a store/restaurant of your choice!
