In October’s VermontBiz we take a close look at Vermont’s summer tourism and making nice with Canada. By most accounts, the summer tourism season in Vermont — generally, late May to early September — was decent. There were some concerning shortcomings and some solid wins. VermontBiz’ Economic Report on Bennington County finds that there is a lot going on! It is unique in that it has two distinct regions: The North Shire is centered around the largely tourism-related Manchester and the larger South Shire revolves around the traditional economy representative of Bennington. We also celebrate the life of Rich Tarrant. Guided by values and driven by purpose, his contributions made a lasting impact on Vermont and the lives of many Vermonters. And don't miss the all new VermontBiz2Biz Expo, Oct 9th at the DoubleTree in South Burlington! The full Expo program is included! All this and more is in the October Issue of VermontBiz.
