Southern Vermont CEDS & RPP Projects
ARE YOU WORKING ON A PROJECT IN SOUTHERN VERMONT?
WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT!
Each year, regional partners BDCC and BCRC put out a call for projects to be submitted for two important regional project collection and review processes.
-
To submit, you'll fill out a form with information about your project and its alignment with regional goals, as outlined in the 2024-2029 Southern Vermont Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS) document.
-
All projects submitted by 9/5/2025 will be included in our CEDS update, and reviewed by a peer committee who will select around 10 'Vital Projects' to be highlighted in this year's CEDS update.
-
You may also choose to answer additional questions to submit your project for "Regional Priority Project" consideration. The additional questions are more detailed as these projects are typically further ahead in their planning process. If you do not have complete information for RPP submission by the 9/5 deadline, you will have the opportunity to return to your form and provide updated detailed information for RPP consideration until the final RPP deadline of 9/19/25.
See below for FAQ and a link to register for an informational webinar we're having on July 30, 2025. More questions? Reach out! Contact info below.
Want a pdf preview of the submission form? Email us and we'll send you the right version (CEDS only or the RPP form for your region)
