More than 150 COVID-19 relief projects are underway across Vermont as the state ramps up the spending of the more than $1 billion in federal funds that are intended to help recover from the pandemic.
— economic development, water, sewer and wastewater, climate change mitigation measures and the expansion of broadband infrastructure — is intended to help strengthen the state’s economy, make Vermont more affordable and more competitive while helping keep it cleaner and safer.
Farnham said that if he were starting over, he would focus more on Vermont’s rural towns and providing them with more support. Moving forward, he said the administration would be willing to work with the Legislature to increase support for rural areas. Vermont Livestock Slaughter & Processing in Ferrisburgh received grant money from the USDA as part of a Biden administration program to strengthen the food system and boost job creation in rural America.
Some of the projects have been delayed by the supply chain issues that have been plaguing much of the country and the world, said Julie Moore, the secretary of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. “I’m not sure that there’s anything to be done there other than to sort of anticipate upfront what those may mean for different types of projects and our expected timeline,” she said.
