Vermont Business Magazine Governor Phil Scott and members of his cabinet will be in Orange County on Tuesday, December 17 for its Capital for a Day 14-county tour.
Governor Scott first launched this initiative in June 2018, and he and his cabinet visited all 14 counties over the following 10 months. Capital for a Day gives local constituents, municipal government leaders and other partners the opportunity to connect directly with state leadership and staff.
“Spending a day in each county gives us an opportunity to hear directly from Vermonters, see the good things happening in their communities and understand how decisions made in Montpelier are impacting them,” said Governor Scott. “In the past, challenges identified on these visits led us to make historic investments in wastewater systems to support economic growth, strengthen our CTE centers, collaborate on public safety issues and more.”
In addition to the public schedule listed below, Governor Scott and members of his cabinet will participate in other meetings and events which are not open to the general public.
