The Smart Growth movement in Vermont has led to policies and investments that have directly supported the revitalization and livability of our historic community centers, while balancing the state’s rural identity, economic development, and environmental protection. However, Vermont still faces urgent challenges related to housing, climate change, and the balance between urban and rural development.
The Smarter Growth Summit, co-hosted by the Vermont Natural Resources Council, AARP Vermont, and the Preservation Trust of Vermont, will gather stakeholders to discuss the future of smart growth in Vermont.
The Summit aims to co-create an initial draft of updated smart growth principles that meet Vermont’s needs, while building the interest, momentum and mutuality to launch a new educational network of practitioners dedicated to sustainable and equitable land use. This momentum – toward common understanding, breaking down silos, and identifying shared solutions – cannot come soon enough.
