The Northeast Kingdom Collaborative just held a summit to consider the results of a year-long series of public forums on key issues facing the Northeast Kingdom (economic development, education, housing, water/wastewater infrastructure, telecommunications, tourism, arts and culture, health and wellness, human services, energy and weatherization, and community leadership).

We hope you were able to join us and add your voice. We are attempting to continue such conversations on-line. See a post on the “Board Blog” on who can write for on the web site.

Past Events

March 13, 2010, – Forum Series Summit at Lyndon State College.

More than 500 people in the Northeast Kingdom came together in conversation in earlier monthly forums. The expertise shared by the panelists matched with the enthusiastic interest of the audience members produced the foundational draft of key action steps and priorities within each sector for the region’s new Regional Economic Development Plan.

In the week following the Summit we’ve pulled together written notes. The board will use these notes to refine the preliminary plan and clarify specific action steps and agents. We will expect and encourage agents to begin and sustain the work required to ensure that these action items and priorities are acted upon for the betterment of our region, our towns, our businesses, and our residents.
