What does Vermont mean to you?
What common values do Vermonters share?
What challenges and opportunities do we see for our communities and state?
What should our priorities be as we work together to prepare Vermont for the future?
Need economical power and facilities for industry in Franklin County, and to find the right industry. If raw materials could be brought in and product shipped out, we would have a better quality of life with a shorter commute for labor. This has been happening to some extent with Enosburg Industrial Park, but to no avail so far.
How do your thoughts about Vermont's values, future challenges and priority issues apply to YOUR community?
Our Route 105 is loaded with commuters going somewhere else to work. How many are going just to St. Albans, Georgia, or Swanton I don't know. It would be nice if more industry could come to northeast Franklin County to use some of the labor force. A 2-hour ride on each end of the work day doesn't seem very enjoyable to me.
