Business.

Vermont business news — new openings, closures, expansions, hiring, land-use decisions, and the small-business and farm economy that defines the state. VTScout reports on independently-owned restaurants, retailers, breweries, farms, manufacturers, and the local-government decisions that shape where Vermonters work. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage. Press releases and pitches are welcome via the contact page. Coverage emphasizes Burlington, Stowe, Middlebury, Brattleboro, Montpelier, Rutland, Bennington, and the smaller towns where most of Vermont’s economy actually happens. Sponsored content, when it appears, is clearly labeled.
