Planning for a resilient Montpelier 

On July 10th the North Branch of the Winooski crested over 20 feet, filling business basements and retail spaces with floodwaters. Over 4,000 volunteers came to town to help businesses clean up and recover, helping restaurants and retail stores to reopen as quickly as they can. The community came together to organize benefit concerts, festivals and other fundraisers to support our downtown and bring back a more resilient Montpelier!

Follow our progress here:

Montpelier Strong helps to coordinate The Montpelier Commission for Recovery and Resilience, a group whose purpose is to serve as a partner for the city and to coordinate the many working groups advancing flood recovery and resilience projects.
