Announcements

The Snelling Center for Government is pleased to announce the release of the following report: 

Key Themes in Stimulating and Supporting Future Economic Development: A Report on the Public Engagement Process to the Commission on the Future of Economic Development.

This report provides a summary of the key themes that emerged from the engagement of over 600 local residents, employers and businesses, and economic development and community stakeholders during the spring and summer of 2008. Participants in this series of 12 regional discussions offered information and recommendations for strategic investments which will be critical to the development of a strategic statewide economic development plan that reflects the diversity of experiences in Vermont.
 
We want to thank the Regional Development Corporations and other local partners essential in identifying and recruiting participants, planning and hosting the events in their regions to ensure that this process reflected both the depth and diversity of the region. We also want to thank all the participants in the process who evidenced their commitment to Vermont and our collective future by sharing their experiences, expertise and time with us.
