Marlboro
What does Vermont mean to you?:
A welcome step back from the rest of our country gone mad.
What common values do Vermonters share?:
Knowing (not thinking) that less is more, thinking ahead about energy issues, appreciating solitude.
What challenges and opportunities do we see for our communities and state?:
Vermont's rural landscape and old school mindset leave us without many tech jobs or the atmosphere to attract young professionals. This leaves our beautiful state quaint and charming, but left behind and aging.
As for opportunities, Vermonters live the old cliche, "thinking outside the box." We may be the breath of fresh air the US desperately needs, that is if anyone will listen.
What should our priorities be as we work together to prepare Vermont for the future?:
Maintaining values while joining the 21st century.
How do your thoughts about Vermont's values, future challenges and priority issues apply to YOUR community?:
Marlboro even has a four-year college, but the kids scram at graduation. It's a beautiful, special place that I will always call home, but it's not where I can work and live.
