Vermont is on the doorstep of taking in hundreds of millions of federal dollars.
The money will fund dozens of infrastructure projects: roads, bridges, dams, sewers, water treatment, broadband, government buildings, schools, and child care centers.
Funding will continue, providing dollars to cover the cost of home weatherization and to develop hundreds of electric vehicle charging stations throughout Vermont. The underlying federal legislation, The American Rescue Plan Act, if approved by Congress, contains a provision to create over 500,000 charging stations countrywide.

CORNWALL James “Jim” Garner Gill lost his quiet, lifelong battle with anxiety on May 3, 2021, dying by his own hand in Cornwall.
Born Feb. 3, 1966, in Middlebury, James was the son of Garner and Florence (Burgess) Gill. He was raised on his parents’ dairy farm in Cornwall, where as a boy he worked alongside his dad milking cows, tending crops and repairing machinery. He always loved being at the farm. Jim would proudly recall driving the old tractors before his feet could even touch the tractor deck.
In later years, Jim built his own home on the family property, where he resided until his death. He took pride in maintaining the grounds and the extensive system of trails he built, which connected his home to his mother’s, brother’s, and all other points of the property.
