The Catalyst Program stimulates economic growth and inspires partnerships that improve rural
economic vitality across the Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC) four-state region. The
Catalyst Program supports a broad range of economic development initiatives that will modernize
and expand the region’s basic infrastructure and revitalize communities to support and attract the
region’s workforce. Established by Congress in 2008, the NBRC is a partnership between the
federal government and the states of Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont. The NBRC
invests in job-creating projects that reduce poverty, unemployment, and outmigration
This project was created in collaboration with the Vermont Outdoor Recreation Economic Collaborative (VOREC). This project was supported by a grant from the Northern Border Regional Commission. Funding for this project was made possible in part with a Rural Business Development Grant from USDA Rural Development.
