Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Agency of Transportation (AOT) and the Vermont Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), in partnership with the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR), are pleased to announce the award of $97,500 to the Town of Waterbury through the Better Connections Grant Program, which seeks to help towns build stronger communities that are more livable and walkable.
The Town of Waterbury will create a multi-modal transportation safety and accessibility plan for Waterbury Center to strengthen connections among the village assets through a smart growth approach and will incorporate stormwater mitigation planning to improve water quality.
“Transportation options are critical to the economic vitality and overall health of our communities,” said Transportation Secretary Joe Flynn. “The Better Connections program provides communities with the tools to plan for inclusive and resilient transportation system and sets them on a path toward making it happen.”
“At the Department of Housing and Community Development, we are devoted to helping communities achieve their goals, and Better Connections perfectly aligns with that mission,” said Housing and Community Development Commissioner Alex Farrell. “Improving multi-modal transportation systems spurs economic development and is integral to revitalization efforts in our downtowns and villages.”
