  • How Burlington Became an Award Winning-City
    Table of Contents Why This Booklet? / What is CEDO? 1 Economic Development Division 2 Timeline of Economic Projects and Selected Awards 3 The Pine Street Renaissance 5 The Waterfront 11 Energy Efficiency Policy 17 Downtown Groceries and City Market 22 Business Loan Program & Lake Champlain Chocolates 29 Model Programs 32 Five-Year Goals & Priorities 35 City of Burlington Awards 41 CEDO Charter 46 Economic Development Staff 47 Lessons Learned 48 Why This Booklet? 2008 marked the 25th anniversary since Mayor Bernie Sanders created the Community & Economic Development Office. The newly established office had an unusually broad mission: to foster economic vitality; preserve and enhance neighborhoods, quality of life and the environment; and promote equity and opportunity for all of Burlington’s residents. Over the past 27 years, CEDO has worked diligently towards those goals; accomplishing much, suffering some setbacks, and receiving quite a few accolades along the way. In fact, in the field of community and economic development, CEDO is often offered as a model of how an engaged municipal government can play an active role in helping create and maintain a livable city and and foster a healthy and vibrant local economy. In recent years, it has been repeatedly suggested that CEDO ‘write its story’ to be used as a teaching aid and promotional tool, as well as a guide for other city governments. This booklet is a first step toward that goal. It is a chronicle of major economic development efforts, highlighting a handful of particular programs and projects as well as some of the many awards that have been received.

A warm, moist, and unstable air mass was in place from the Eastern Adirondack Mountains into Vermont with surface temperatures in the mid-80s to lower 90s. The temperature reached 93 degrees in Burlington, VT, which tied the all-time record for warmest maximum temperature for the month of May, along with breaking the daily maximum temperature for the date. This impressive heat helped to fuel the afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. This severe weather event had three areas of concentrated activity that included western Addison County on Potash Bay Road, South Burlington/Williston area, and across the Northeast Kingdom near Barton, VT.
