What does Vermont mean to you?
open land, clean air and water and traditional values
What common values do Vermonters share?
care for one another; a sense of community; sensitivity for the environment
What challenges and opportunities do we see for our communities and state?
affordable housing; an educated workforce; jobs that will attract an educated workforce; affordable and universal healthcare; an opportunity to turn our values and appreciation of the our landscape into a sustainable place that fosters a creative economy
What should our priorities be as we work together to prepare Vermont for the future?
education, education, education...nothing else will be possible if our young do not possess the skills required of the 21st century. Without the skills we will not have the opportunities for young people and we will become a land for the old and the poor.
How do your thoughts about Vermont's values, future challenges and priority issues apply to YOUR community?
The thoughts shared above reflect the challenges and hopes that we have in Pittsford. I do not think Pittsford is unique in any way.
