Millions flowing to Vermont’s outdoor recreation scene
MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – Millions flowing to Vermont’s outdoor recreation scene to improve flood damage and beyond.
The Vermont Outdoor Recreation Economic Collaborative — or VOREC — recently announced 6.3 million dollars in grants to support outdoor rec across the state.
It’s going to 51 projects focused on improving outdoor spaces and who gets to access them.
The most money they’ve ever doled out, VOREC says they pushed for an additional million to help flood-ravaged communities revive their outdoor recreation economy.
“It’s pretty incredible to see how communities investing in their resources can really bring life back to their downtown centers,” VOREC Program Manager Jackie Dagger said.
The VOREC grants also set aside dedicated funding for projects focused on outdoor equity.
