Northern Vermont Recovery Loans

The Vermont Community Loan Fund has launched the Northern Vermont Recovery Loan Fund, serving manufacturing, tourism, agriculture, forestry and wood products, education and early care, and nonprofits impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Business owners from Vermont’s six northernmost counties — Caledonia, Essex, Franklin, Grand Isle, Lamoille and Orleans — are eligible. Loans include flexible terms and low- to no-cost debt financing, along with business coaching services and support.

Vermont Lights the Way

Governor Phil Scott is encouraging families and businesses to help show that Vermont Lights the Way. The hope is to literally brighten communities and neighborhoods around the state by decorating homes, businesses, trees or other creative ideas to help celebrate the holiday season during the pandemic. In addition to decorating, Vermonters should share pictures of their displays — or favorites from around the community — on social media using the hashtag #VTLightsTheWay.

Business Impact

ACCD wants to hear from all Vermont businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Please use the ACCD Business Impact Form to help us continue to assess the full impact as we work toward additional recovery solutions.
