Highway Hearing Continues In Vermont Legislature
The House opened with strong support for the highway bill from Montpelier’s Robert Eldredge of the Regional Highway Council. Vermont officials urged fast completion of arterial routes to feed growth, improve U.S. 7 and U.S. 4, and expand access to recreation and industry across southwestern Vermont. Local business leaders from Rutland, Manchester, Dorset, and Bennington pressed for action, warning delays will cost tourism and growth as U.S. 7, the Northway, and New York routes are highlighted as vital gateways. Leaders argued for state funding to supplement federal aid and tied the plan to long term economic benefits for Vermont residents.
