Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation Attention non-profits, for-profits, and Chittenden County municipalities! Do you have a project that will support economic growth? The RPP list expresses the highest priority projects for each region that will support job growth and economic development. Projects will be ranked on their readiness, ability to create jobs, and overall community and economic impact. The RPP list will be submitted to the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development, which will share it with other state and federal funders who will consider the list when making funding decisions.

We look forward to continued collaboration with our legislators as we develop creative solutions.
