Just delivered a car load worth of donated food, water, socks, cleaning supplies, a few fans & shop vacs from the @CVFair collection site to Johnson, VT right next to JP’s Promising Goods at 405 Railroad St. Folks who need any of these items should drop by. #vtflood23

Students at IAA enjoying the VT elementary school rite of passage that is song writing & performing with Jon Gailmor. As a family that had Dirt! on vinyl growing up, lots of joy seeing my own kids experience the passion of this artist who is now a VT institution. #BTV – at Burlington, VT

NBRC is looking for a creative person to join our team to develop and lead our marketing and communications strategy. A great remote work opportunity for anyone living in (or hoping to move to!) the NBRC region. nbrc.gov/userfiles/files/Job…

The @BTVAirport team did an amazing job building a new passenger friendly security & gate area. Newer tech+more space=better travel experience. Great to see how $19m secured for the project by @SenatorLeahy was leveraged to include #VT maple & installations by local artists #BTV – at South Burlington, VT

Supporting the forest economy of the region is a core investment areas for NBRC. Pretty neat to see how the town of Madison, #Maine is putting a $1m grant from NBRC to work and partnering w/TimberHP to bring a closed mill back to life to make wood based insulation #woodproducts – at Anson, ME

Catching up with current and past projects in Pittsfield, #Maine. NBRC’s 2016 investment to replace a failing sewer line led to the location of a new Puritan facility & 400 employees in the downtown. A new grant for sidewalk replacent will complement more downtown investments – at Pittsfield, ME
Taking in all the smiling faces and happy passengers on the @Amtrak Ethan Allen this morning in #btv and wondering what the last public works/infrastructure project was in #VT that garnered this much good will and general excitement? – at Vermont, USA
