Consistently, respondents to our annual Member Survey have cited funding, access to grants, research and writing, as top areas for needing help. We understand that capacity is a major concern for towns of all sizes. Lack of paid staff and often only a small group of elected officials to shoulder all the work are challenging. Developing smart, sustainable projects – big or small – takes time, planning, resources, commitment, and expertise. It starts with prioritizing local needs, assessing the funding landscape, and creating an implementation plan. Whether you are taking the very first step or removing a stumbling block along the way, VLCT's Project & Funding Specialist can provide the knowledge and experience to help ensure your important projects have the resources and funding needed to be successful.
