§ 3. Economic development; principles; review and assessment
(a) For purposes of the Vermont Statutes Annotated and State economic development programs and assistance, "economic development" means the process of generating economic wealth and vitality, security, and opportunity for all Vermonters.
(b) There are established the following four interrelated principles for future economic development in Vermont:
(1) Vermont's businesses, educators, nongovernmental organizations, and government form a collaborative partnership that results in a highly skilled multigenerational workforce to support and enhance business vitality and individual prosperity.
(2) Vermont invests in its digital, physical, and human infrastructure as the foundation for all economic development.
(3) Vermont State government takes advantage of its small scale to create nimble, efficient, and effective policies and regulations that support business growth and the economic prosperity of all Vermonters.
(4) Vermont leverages its brand and scale to encourage a diverse economy that reflects and capitalizes on our rural character, entrepreneurial people, and reputation for environmental quality.
(c) The four principles shall be used to guide the design and implementation of each economic development program, policy, or initiative that is sponsored or financially supported by the State, its subdivisions, agencies, authorities, or private partners.
(d) [Repealed.] (Added 2009, No. 54, § 4, eff. June 1, 2009; amended 2015, No. 11, § 2.)
