VCDA Spring Conference Will Highlight Economic Development Impact of Trails and Recreation Paths

Many Vermont communities are actively exploring the ways in which trail systems and recreation paths can serve both a recreational and economic function. On May 10, the Vermont Community Development Association will feature presentations, panels and a keynote address on many of these trail and outdoor recreation initiatives around the state.

Join VCDA on May 10th in East Burke to:

• Discuss strategies to advance the recreational economy and how trails and recreation serve as economic drivers
• Explore the role that trails and recreation play in our rural working landscape as well as in our downtowns
• Learn about successes, opportunities, and challenges in developing new trail systems and integrating recreation and community development
• Hear what the future holds for larger regional trails systems and recreation paths in Vermont communities
