The Vermont Development Listserv is a simple, email-style forum intended to act as a conversation tool connecting our entire real estate development community. This includes developers, business & property owners, regulators & government officials involved in land use, and the full spectrum of industry professionals, including attorneys, engineers, architects, bankers, environmental specialists, landscape architects, and the like. This listserv is a vehicle to brainstorm, problem-solve, and discuss issues, share resources and techniques, and help each of us be more successful (and profitable) while fostering a healthy economy and vibrant communities in Vermont.
