BRATTLEBORO â A refugee resettlement program proposing the opening of a Brattleboro office received a warm welcome from community members.
âWelcome to the family here in Brattleboro, open hearts and open arms,â Gary Stroud, a member of Representative Town Meeting and various town committees, said Tuesday following a presentation to the Select Board.
Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) applied to the United States Department of State to establish an office in Brattleboro. The hope is to open in October.
Select Board Vice Chairman Ian Goodnow said he fully supports the project, calling it a way to âmake Vermont the place we want to beâ in terms of diversity and inclusion.

VERNON â With no debate, Vernon voters passed a municipal budget of nearly $1,962,032 with $1.6 million of that to be raised from taxes. The remainder is expected to be raised through revenues received by the town and nearly $37,000 carried over from the current fiscal year, which ends June 1.
The approved budget was a $68,000 increase over last yearâs budget of $1,894,285.
Most of the discussion during Sundayâs annual Town Meeting revolved around solid waste disposal and the townâs pay-as-you-throw program.
Article 13 asked voters to appropriate $108,000 for municipal refuse and town-wide recycling. The total does not include funds for state-mandated composting, for which each homeowner is responsible.

DOVER â Thanks to a generous electorate that overwhelmingly approved an amendment from the floor at annual Town Meeting, Deerfield Valley Rescue will get $10,000 more than it requested.
âThat doesnât happen by ballot or anywhere else,â Moderator Rich Werner said at the end of annual Town Meeting on Tuesday at the Carinthia base lodge at Mount Snow.
Earlier, Royal Wilson proposed the amendment that would pay Deerfield Valley Rescue $30,000 instead of $20,000. She said she thinks âso highly of the rescue squad.â
âI know you are in a fundraising mode,â she said.
