Indicators for Vermont Communities.

USDA-Special Grant.

Often local officials and general citizens have trouble finding quality community data to support their decision-making processes. This project supports and develops resources to make community data public in a useful fashion. The focus has been on online data resources like Vermont Indicators Online http://crs.uvm.edu/indicators and Vermont Housing Data www.housingdata.org. Project work has also included presentations, workshops, and selected community profiles (http://crs.uvm.edu/profiles). What results is a greater availability of community data for public use in Vermont and a more informed group of local data-users. (F. Schmidt, W. Sawyer, M. Murphy, C. Gent, M.
