SerVermont - GMEDC, 4-Town Coalition Coordinator
 
 
 
This VISTA position is hosted by the Green Mountain Economic Development Corporation (GMEDC) to support the 4-Town Coalition. The 4-Town Coalition is a grassroots community development initiative formed in 2019 during a community engagement process between the rural towns of Royalton, Sharon, Strafford and Tunbridge. The Coalition is supported by and coordinates with the four town governments, but operates independently to address community issues across municipal boundaries. The Coalition consists of volunteer committees that work to alleviate poverty and increase quality of life for all residents by addressing affordable housing, boosting employment opportunities and workforce development, improving food access and food system resilience, and protecting the working landscape including recreation opportunities and natural resources. GMEDC, one of Vermont’s 12 Regional Development Corporations, is an IRS 501c (6) that works collaboratively with Federal and Vermont governmental agencies and 30 town governments to improve the cultural and economic conditions for the residents in southern Orange County and Windsor County Vermont. Many towns in this region have high populations of low and moderate-income families. In response, GMEDC assists individuals, community groups, and businesses to meet housing, childcare, healthcare, education, permitting, employment and financial needs. GMEDC has been an active partner in the 4-Town Coalition since its inception and is involved in additional community development activities in the immediate vicinity of the 4-Town area.
