Fall 2025 Regional Project Prioritization List

December 15, 2024

The Regional Project Prioritization (RPP) List is released twice a year in the spring and fall. Developed by Vermont’s Regional Development Corporations and Regional Planning Commissions, the RPP identifies the highest priority projects for each region that will support job growth and economic development. 

The top 10 projects from each region are submitted to the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development, per their request. GBIC maintains a slightly longer list that identifies additional priority projects in Chittenden County that also scored highly.
