Advancing Vermont’s Creative Economy – Celebrating Models of Community Success

VCRD developed the CCP to help residents look at their towns and regions through a creative economy lens and identify specific projects to pursue that would make them more vibrant communities—places that would attract and inspire innovative entrepreneurs.

"I asked Steve Arms from MicroStrain a question recently. Steve and I were students at the UVM together, in the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences. I asked Steve what three things Vermont needs most, in order to help innovative businesses like his.

His answer: education, education, and education. Our schools must impart skills and knowledge, but also inspire creativity. We also need to protect the intellectual property of our innovators, and we must reward our creators. UVM President Dan Fogel wants to see to it that UVM’s researchers and inventors are rewarded for their achievements."
