Out & About: Recent Vermont transplants, speak up >Modified: 7/13/2021 9:36:45 PM
Have you moved to Vermont since March 2020?
If so, University of Vermont geographer Cheryl Morse wants to hear your story. This month, Morse launched a research project aiming to find out why people moved to the Green Mountain State, what their experience has been like so far and what their hopes are for their future in the state.
“We’re just using this as a time capsule for recent migration,” Morse said, noting that their move does not have to be related to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Maybe people had the idea already in the works, but then it was accelerated by COVID or maybe they came here for different reasons during the COVID era and that might have impacted how they experience Vermont.”
