It can take years of planning and hard work to gain positive momentum in a community. St. Johnsbury struggled for decades, but in the past few years the community has reached a critical mass and all those years of work have opened the floodgates for new opportunities. The community is capitalizing on its historic assets, creative economy, rich heritage, and close ties to outdoor recreation. Infrastructure and capital improvements are the culmination of more than a decade’s worth of public and private investments. Equally important is the community’s ability to redefine its self-perception has allowed embrace its past while accelerating towards a brighter future.
Join us as we celebrate St. Johnsbury and statewide success stories and dive into complex challenges around housing, main street vitality, and the rural economy. We hope you leave with the inspiration, tools, and connections to gain positive momentum and redefine your community.
