MONTPELIER, VT– U.S. Senator Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Chair of the Senate Agriculture Subcommittee on Rural Development and Energy, traveled to Vermont’s Capital City last night to deliver remarks at the Central Vermont Economic Development Corporation (CVEDC) Annual Dinner and Meeting to recognize the hard work of Central Vermont businesses in overcoming Vermont’s recent floods, and thank local businesses for their contributions to the local economy. 

“Folks across Vermont have been through so much in the past year and a half. Many homeowners, small businesses, and farmers are still feeling the impacts of brutal back-to-back flooding. CVEDC’s work to grow jobs, support housing, and expand opportunities has been crucial to strengthening our community when we need it most,” said Senator Welch. “I’ll continue to work with my colleagues in Washington to secure more disaster funding and cut through red tape so our communities can get the resources they need faster.”
