Creative Economy Forum helps redefine Rutland, Vermont

Residents of Rutland, Vermont, met to discuss new directions to develop their community reported the Rutland Herald. A vote at the Creative Economy Forum, moderated by the Vermont Council on Rural Development, identified two key projects: develop a railroad or children's museum and work to brand Rutland's identity. The goal is to revitalize rural Vermont in this area -- to re-invent itself. [[VPRradio
