Vermont Green FC announce more women’s matches, return of Sam Mewis
UVM soccer: NCAA championship parade on Burlington’s Church Street
Fans flocked Church Street to celebrate UVM men’s soccer’s historic national championship with a parade and rally.
Sam Mewis and the Vermont Green Football Club women’s team are returning to Virtue Field this summer.
Following 2024’s successful debut, the former United States national team star will once again coach the Vermont Green women for a pair of exhibition matches, the Burlington soccer club announced Thursday. Last summer, Mewis’ squad defeated FC Laval 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in regulation in front of a sold out crowd at Virtue Field.
The 2024 event was established in hopes of adding a full-time women’s franchise. Adding a second exhibition game for this summer is a positive step in that direction, said Adam Pfeifer, the club’s sporting director.
“(Last summer) was an unforgettable experience for our club, community, and team, but it was just the beginning of our commitment to the women’s game,” Pfeifer said in a news release. “We’re very happy to be doubling our training and match experience for the women’s squad in 2025 as we continue to sustainably build our infrastructure with the goal of a permanent women’s team playing in a league as soon as possible.”
The women’s team will play Flower City 1872 of Rochester, New York, at Virtue Field on Wednesday, June 11 at 7 p.m. Then on Saturday, June 14, they will play AS Blainville of Montreal at 6 p.m.
“Coaching with Vermont Green last summer was one of the highlights of my year. I am so happy to be back with the club this season and I can’t wait to offer my perspective and experience playing professional soccer all over the world,” Mewis said in the same news release. “Vermont Green is made up of an incredibly thoughtful and intentional group of people who are actively growing the soccer scene here in Vermont.
“The fans of this club have blown me away with their support, engagement, and passion. With two games this summer and an entire week of training, we will set our players up for success both with us and beyond, and we’ll set the stage for Vermont Green Women to grow into something even greater.”
The team’s full roster and staff will be announced in June during training camp. To purchase tickets for the exhibition matches, visit tickets.vermontgreenfc.com.
The Vermont FC men’s squad embark on their fourth season in the USL League Two with the Maple Cup vs. FC Laval at Virtue Field on Saturday, May 24.
Taylor promoted to Vermont Green FC head coach
Chris Taylor has been promoted to head coach of the Vermont Green FC men’s squad ahead of the 2025 season, the club announced this week.
Taylor, who has served as assistant coach with Vermont since 2022, is the current head coach of SUNY-Plattsburgh. Taylor replaces three-year head coach Adam Pfeifer, who will continue in his role as sporting director, according to a news release.
“I am deeply honored to be named as the next Head Coach of Vermont Green FC,” Taylor said in a statement. “Joining the club in 2022 was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I am excited for this next step. Following Adam is a big task, but his support and that of the club will make this transition work. I am grateful to Adam for not only bringing me in, but trusting me from day one with numerous responsibilities. I am determined to help the club succeed and give our fans another great summer.”
Peifer caps his tenure as head coach with a 39-11-4 record in all competitions. That includes a second-round appearance in last year’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

Hundreds of housing units in the works at closely-watched project in Burlington’s South End – VTDigger
This story, by Report for America corps member Carly Berlin, was produced through a partnership between VTDigger and Vermont Public.
A long-awaited housing development that could bring hundreds of new apartments to a series of empty lots in Burlington’s South End neighborhood is beginning to come together.
The first phase of the major public-private deal, called the South End Coordinated Redevelopment Project, got official sign-off from the Burlington City Council last month. The project’s backers have also scored key funding commitments from Treasurer Mike Pieciak’s office and state housing funding agencies.
The project on Lakeside Avenue is the beginning of “a neighborhood being born out of a big parking lot,” Burlington Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak told city councilors in May.
City officials and developers hope the project could eventually include over a thousand homes, making it one of the largest developments in Vermont – and putting a considerable dent in the Queen City’s housing shortage. Regional planners estimate that Burlington needs to add between 3,500 and 10,500 homes by 2050 to get the housing market to a healthy state.
The development is possible, in part, because of a 2023 zoning change in the formerly industrial area that allows for some of the densest housing development in the state, according to local planners.

The South End project’s backers include Champlain College, Champlain Housing Trust and Ride Your Bike LLC, the investors behind the nearby Hula coworking campus. They have brought on Jonathan Rose Companies, an affordable housing developer with projects from New York to California, as the lead developer. The South End project is the company’s first in Vermont.
The development agreement signed by city councilors in May greenlights the South End project’s first 204 units, estimated to cost roughly $100 million.
Per Burlington’s inclusionary zoning policy and state rules, at least 20% of the first round of apartments will be set aside as affordable. But the developers hope to secure enough funding to allow them to earmark a third of the 204 apartments with income restrictions, said Andrew Foley, director of development at Jonathan Rose Companies, in an interview. The development agreement offers the developers reduced city fees if the affordable units are priced even more modestly than required.
The lion’s share of the new apartments will be studios and one-bedrooms, Foley said. The building would include common social spaces for neighbors to gather, he added.
Like any large-scale housing project, the developers of the South End apartments are piecing together financing from a wide array of sources. They recently scored an $8 million low-interest loan from Pieciak’s 10% for Vermont program, along with a $6.7 million award from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board to support 67 affordable apartments – including 10 reserved for people experiencing homelessness.
To build out new roads – along with wastewater connections and stormwater infrastructure meant to cut down on sewer overflows into nearby Lake Champlain – city officials are going after funding from a new state program. The Community and Housing Infrastructure Program, a tax-increment financing tool created by the Legislature last year, would allow the city and the developers to borrow the funds needed to build out the infrastructure against the development’s future property tax revenue.

City officials and the developers are working together to submit an application for this CHIP financing. The South End development could be the first project in the state to utilize the program after its launch in January.
“I think a lot of other potential applicants are kind of saying, ‘I wonder how that South End project works out’ – for us to maybe go first,” Foley said.
With an eye toward lowering the project’s carbon footprint, the development will be all-electric, Foley said. The developers are looking to use mass-timber construction techniques, he added – essentially using large, prefabricated wood panels in place of steel or concrete. They also want to construct a rooftop solar array, employ a geothermal heating and cooling system and promote a “car-light” neighborhood in close proximity to bike paths and transit routes.
The developers hope to close on their construction financing by the end of the year.
“Everyone’s eager to see the construction start and housing built, so we’re trying to move as fast as we can,” Foley said.

BRIDGEWATER CORNERS, Vt. (WCAX) – A Vermont brewery is living up to its name to help celebrate the outdoors.
Long Trail Brewing Company is unveiling its “Reallllly Long Trail Ale Pack” in honor of National Trails Day this weekend. They believe it will be the largest single-unit commercially available beer package in the country.
The design for the packaging is 273 centimeters long, reflecting the 273-mile Long Trail that cuts through the length of Vermont. It also holds 168 beers and needs three people just to carry it. The brewery’s Jordan Kellem hopes it can encourage people to, as they say, “Take a Hike!”
“We’ve been brewing beer for a long time, and it’s increasingly more difficult to stand out. And at the end of the day, we have to remind ourselves we’re in the beer industry and it’s a fun industry to be a part of, so we want to have some fun and do what we do,” Kellem said.
They’re also giving back with $15,000 in donations to local trail systems across the state.
National Trails Day is Saturday, June 7.
