Choosing Scarcity or Abundance: Reimagining Vermont’s Economy

Why is Vermont struggling to retain workers, build enough housing, or keep up with the rising cost of living? And what can we do about it, together? Join Kevin Chu, Executive Director of the Vermont Future’s Project, for an important presentation on the organization’s Economic Action Plan for Vermont. This session will provide a clear-eyed look at the data and trends shaping Vermont’s economy, including labor shortages, demographic shifts, the housing crisis, and cost-of-living pressures. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the root causes behind these challenges and the risks of inaction. More importantly, Kevin will share a collaborative vision for how communities, policymakers, businesses, and individuals can work together to build a stronger, more equitable economic future for Vermont.
