Housing and its Link to BTV's Future Economy
Did you know the average Burlington household spends 44% of its income on housing costs? The local housing markets is making it challenging to recruit employees, retain professionals and grow our economy. Good news: work is being done to address the issue.
This year's program will inform attendees of Burlington's "Housing Crisis" and motivate them to support change.
