Vermont Electric Power Company needs your input:
What is the Vermont Long-Range Transmission Plan, And why should you participate? The electric transmission system plays a critical role in powering Vermont’s communities.

We value the input of Vermonters in shaping this plan and invite all who are interested in joining any of our four public outreach meetings. Your contributions will make the plan stronger and more reflective of Vermont's needs. We look forward to hearing from you and working together to ensure a reliable, resilient, and affordable energy future for Vermont. For more information, go to: Vermont-long-range-transmission-plan

BHBO Community Kick-OffFriday, October 25, 8:30 am – 11 amHilton Garden Inn
35 Labombard Rd, Lebanon, NH Free; includes breakfast Join the public launch of the BIPOC Home and Business Ownership (BHBO) project to support Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in putting down roots in the Upper Valley. The BHBO Community Kick-Off will be a morning of networking, resource sharing, solutions-centered brainstorming, for people involved in the homeownership process, local businesses, and social well-being of BIPOC community members. Free admission, including breakfast! The BHBO project emerged in response to the broadly recognized need for the Upper Valley to attract and retain workers and full-time residents to keep its economy vibrant. Many new arrivals are discouraged by the difficulty of finding a home and building a community. This is particularly true for BIPOC community members who – due to the historic marginalization of BIPOC community members and the Upper Valley’s history as a predominantly White area – face unique difficulties in maneuvering the job market, securing housing, establishing businesses, accessing cultural goods, and, above all, experiencing a sense of inclusion and belonging. The BHBO project is a joint endeavor by community members Conicia “CJ” Jackson and Julius Turner, Vital Communities, and Mascoma Bank. for more information: go to : BHBO page Just Released: 2024-2025 LWCF Community Grant The Land & Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) supports the development of public outdoor recreation opportunities across Vermont, with a focus on creating parks and open spaces, enhancing recreation areas and facilities, and protecting wilderness areas and forests.
