What is Neighbors Together?
Neighbors, Together is a grassroots community action group comprised of representatives from a variety of businesses and organizations that works together to support economic, social and cultural vitality & accessibility throughout the construction project.
Neighbors Together was initially formed by St. Stephen's Church in response to the downtown construction project. The group held a series of community forums to gather information about ways we can all work together to support our businesses and community through the project. From there, we developed a plan for 2018 activities and a budget request to the State of Vermont.
Currently, the Neighbors Together group is working to execute the 2018 plans. This year, our goals are to:
-
Drive local business revenue with marketing and promotions
-
Invest in the infrastructure needed to support Middlebury’s business community throughout and beyond this project
-
Use this year to help us evaluate the effectiveness of 2018 initiatives for future investments and the planning for the next two years
-
Increase the vitality of the community and promote stronger community partnerships
