We has prioritized flood ravaged communities, closing gaps in rural health access & communities & places too often underrepresented in public grant making. NBRC funds often spark broader economic revitalization & these awards will have a similar impact in the region.

[Chris Saunders @CsaundersVT]

Today NBRC is announcing 33 awards totaling $27m across ME, VT, NH & NY that will build more inclusive economies & address the central needs of rural towns, such as additional housing & childcare. Full project details here: https://t.co/z6eSFYW61v

We know that without reliable access to health care, not everyone can be fully active in their community or participate fully in the workforce. NBRC's visa waiver program is one way we can contribute to addressing shortages in our region's health care workforce. #NBRC

Federal, state and health care officials gathered at the Vermont Health Network’s CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh Tuesday to announce the start of a program intended to help recruit new physicians to the northern border region.

[Chris Saunders @CsaundersVT]

Just delivered a car load worth of donated food, water, socks, cleaning supplies, a few fans & shop vacs from the @CVFair collection site to Johnson, VT right next to JP’s Promising Goods at 405 Railroad St. Folks who need any of these items should drop by. #vtflood23

@btvjim If you are set on the Derby Line crossing, I'd say hi to CBP before you enter Canada so they know to expect you. Since the port of entry isn't right on the border, drivers regularly forget (or opt not) to stop and check after going through the gate on the bridge

[Chris Saunders @CsaundersVT]

@btvjim The in town crossing at Derby Line would probably work ok, Beebee Plain crossing is likely smoother. US residents on Canusa Ave sometimes park at the post office & walk home since they need to check in w/CBP every time they want to drive in the US. CBSA is also right there
