Vermont Business Magazine Governor Phil Scott and members of his Administration will bring their “Capitol for a Day” initiative to Caledonia County on today, July 6. The governor, along with members of his cabinet and extended cabinet, will spend the day in Caledonia County, celebrating the region’s outdoor recreation economy and meeting with area constituents, lawmakers, local partners and state employees.
