The Rev. Robert Green, new BROC director, calls poverty in southwestern Vermont worse than in Connecticut urban ghettos and says isolation makes it harder to attack. BROC renews about $500,000 in federal grants for 1970-71 and reorganizes to decentralize authority, aiming to push projects up from communities. Green notes staff cuts, new county developers, and moves to reduce federal ties while expanding Head Start with about $69,000, planning five centers and a stronger parental role.
