Sustained Housing and Conservation Investments
Vermont is about compact settlement surrounded by rural, working lands. A lack of affordable housing and the threat of losing Vermont’s working lands economy unite a unique, statewide coalition of housing and conservation interests. Under Necrason Group’s leadership, they’ve been awarded over $500 million through the competitive state budgeting process to help build and preserve strong and vibrant communities.
THE RESULTS
- Creation of more than 15,000 permanently affordable homes
- Protection of over 600 working farms and 70 historic properties
- Conservation of more than 400,000 acres of natural, forest, and recreational areas
