## Resource

Vermont’s business community is upbeat after a productive legislative session, thanks to newfound bipartisan cooperation — but they’re also sounding the alarm on persistent hurdles like housing and healthcare that threaten long-term growth. The Chamber celebrated key wins, including revamped environmental rules and streamlined water connection reviews, while backing a new culinary apprenticeship program to revive the state’s food industry talent pipeline. They also blocked two controversial bills — one on extreme heat regulations and another on mandatory flexible work hours — arguing they’d disrupt essential industries. Though one-time tax relief eased pressure, the Chamber insists structural reforms are urgently needed to truly support Vermont’s business future.
