    PEOPLE LOVE LIVING HERE
    Spontaneous discussions about how great Vermont is happen every day, in line at the coffee shop or in the elevator at work. Our universities, artists, musicians, and restaurants prove it's not necessary to live in a big city to be socially engaged. Interesting people, challenging work, and a fun culture—it's all here, and locals know it and appreciate it.
    Why Choose Vermont?
  • Brattleboro view up river from Hinsdale wire right of way.
    OUR CULTURE
    Environmentally friendly. Safe. Socially responsible. Vermonters care about their world. We love our safe neighborhoods, our neighborliness, and our reputation for creative, independent thinking. We'll welcome you with open arms and a warm smile; we wouldn't have it any other way.
    Why Choose Vermont?

    THE SCALE
    Your U.S. Senator chats with you while you're in line at the local hardware store. The governor drives a race car at the local speedway. And everyone here knows someone who knows someone ... making networking and getting to talk to the right people easy. People here want to help; it's easy to feel connected.
    Why Choose Vermont?

    THE OUTDOORS
    Need we say more? Skiing, hiking, kayaking … Vermont has them all, and more, along with the stunning landscape that takes them from enjoyable to extraordinary. Your neighbors and co-workers are out there appreciating what our state has to offer too. Because if there’s one thing that all Vermonters value, it’s our great quality of life.
    Why Choose Vermont?

WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT VERMONT

“Vermont’s size makes it approachable. I have equally direct access to my local farmers as I do our state elected officials. When someone feels like they’re genuinely contributing to the culture of a place, it builds a sense of place, a sense of meaning. To do that in the foreground of natural beauty, fresh air, clean water, and a communal spirit of togetherness, it’s hard not to feel fulfilled.”

— Keith Marks, former resident of Florida
