Vermont Covered
Doris advocated for and funded initiatives related to: education, access to medical care, and closing the opportunity gap. The pandemic highlighted how rural communities have been left behind as the world moves to online education, remote work, and telemedicine. Vermont exemplifies how a rural population lacking high speed internet impacts opportunity and advancement.
All Vermonters should have the connection to participate fully and have the opportunities offered in our increasingly digital world. Vermont Covered works with communities throughout Vermont to advocate for and create access to broadband and wireless broadband.
