Vermont Business Magazine Governor Phil Scott today addressed Vermont legislators to mark their adjournment for the 2021 legislative session.
The governor thanked lawmakers for their work, noting the significance of what they have achieved during this once-in-a-century public health crisis.
The Scott Administration worked closely with the Legislature to pass historic investments, including $190 million for housing, $150 million for broadband and $50 million to mitigate climate change this year with intent language to ensure future investments in priority areas for the state’s recovery. These investments were funded through the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the State’s General Fund surplus and other federal funds.
