In March’s VermontBiz we turn the spotlight on Windsor County.

Restaurants and retail businesses had one of their best years in

2024 -and saw their bottom lines increase as the pandemic finally

moved to the rearview. At long last, some dreams are becoming

visible.

We also look at what it takes to create a tech focused business

ecosystem in Springfield. The Black River Innovation Campus

recipe includes surrounding entrepreneurs in a supportive

network of training, community, and housing.

VermontBiz details concerns about the Waterbury Dam facelift:

Officials say the dam needs repairs if it’s to withstand more of the

catastrophic floods that have recently hit the area.

And Governor Scott’s proposed massive changes to school

district size and call for the creation of local advisory councils, to

“promote high levels of community engagement,” is baffling local

education officials statewide.
