What is e-Vermont?
The e-Vermont Community Broadband Project is a new initiative to help rural Vermont towns take full advantage of the Internet and advance a wide variety of local needs including economic development, school innovation, job creation, downtown marketing, community engagement, and e-commerce. Two dozen communities statewide will be selected to work with the new e-Vermont Partnership in a comprehensive effort combining online services, training, access, awareness, and planning.
By reaching the bedrocks of Vermont communities—schools, businesses, municipal government, libraries, health and social services groups—the e-Vermont Project will promote new collaborative efforts for identifying and implementing previously untapped resources and help our towns fully realize the potential of the digital age.
The e-Vermont project will learn from each of the selected towns and share these best practices in the utilization of digital tools through symposia and conferences statewide.
