Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, January 15th. Kick off your day with some fresh buzz from around the Queen City, where big ideas are taking shape and fun is just a hop away.
Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak grabbed headlines yesterday with her bold three-prong plan to tackle our housing crunch, a real game-changer for folks feeling the squeeze of sky-high rents. Picture this: one in three renters here shells out over half their paycheck just for a roof overhead, fueling a spike in homelessness thats stretched shelters like the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity to the breaking point. The mayors strategy revitalizes our inclusionary zoning and Housing Trust Fund, fires up the 2024 neighborhood code to empower small developers, and hunts for public-private partnerships on city-owned land. Shes even inventorying vacant spots and underused commercial properties to flip them into homes, aiming for 7000 new units by 2050. Its about equity and sustainable growth, putting Burlington back on the map as a housing leader and giving low-income families a shot at stability that ripples through our neighborhoods.[1]
If youre craving laughs tonight, snag tickets to see comedian Chad Daniels lighting up the Vermont Comedy Club. Tickets start around 73 bucks for general admission, perfect for shaking off the winter blues with some sharp wit thatll have you howling into the night.[2]
Students and caffeine fiends at UVM, dont miss the free Coffee Break at the Davis Center from 11am to 1:30pm today. Swing by 590 Main Street with your mug for a quick jolt to power through that first week back on campus.[5]
Mark your calendars for more action: Trivias heating up weekly at the Vermont Cider Lab starting tonight, Evening Prayer with Green Mountain Abbey at 8pm for a serene close to the day, and the Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival just announced its new Barnebl String Quartet Fellowship, spotlighting fresh classical talent right here in Vermont.[10][12][14] Gearheads, Skiracks Winter Swap kicks off intake today through the 16th, with shopping January 17th and 18th for killer deals on skis and snowboards to fuel your mountain adventures.[15]
Looking ahead, South Newbury native Molly Gray is throwing her hat back in for Vermont Lieutenant Governor, bringing her experience to the race.[7] And jazz lovers, the Flynn just revealed Jason Moran as curator for the 43rd Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, June 3rd to 7th, promising visionary sounds across downtown thatll blend local vibes with global flair.[6]
This has been Burlington Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
