Vermont is at a crossroads where the demand for housing and modern infrastructure meet the reality of rising costs and complex regulations. This session of the Windham Leadership Series is designed to provide local leaders with tools and an in-depth exploration of topics, including strategic financing, infrastructure and policy, state alignment, the municipal "playbook," and innovative delivery. Featured panelists include State Treasure Mike Pieciak; Jessica Hartleben, executive director of the Vermont Economic Progress Council; Alex Farrell, commissioner of the Department of Housing and Community Development; Dominic Cloud, city manager of St. Albans; and Miro Weinberger, executive chair of Let's Build Homes.
The Windham Leadership Series brings together leaders from across the region who want access to timely information and clear data for meaningful cross-sector discussion about the forces moving our economy. Each session features a speaker who's achieving results - someone with practical experience, strong data, or insights that help the community see new possibilities for Windham County. The series will support practical learning and encourage participants to compare notes with peers navigating similar decisions.
