The News Project Podcast 10.17.22: Voting – Radically Rural – Riverwalk – Sewer – Springfield On The Move

Voting Made Easy: Getting registered to vote, or voting by mail or absentee, is easier than some may think. Dorset Town Clerk Sandra Pinsonault walks us through the process. Radically Rural: “Radically Rural,” a conference held for the past five years in Keene, N.H., returned to offer discussions and presentations around rural issues across the nation. Bridge Over The River: A bridge crossing over the Battenkill along the Riverwalk has been long discussed, and if enough fundraising is successful, might finally get built. Checking The Sewer Box: Sewer and water projects have big implications for housing and business development. Two local town officials bring us up to speed on projects in Arlington and Manchester to build sewer and water infrastructure critical to housing development. Springfield On The Move: Springfield Vermont has had its share of hard economic times since the manufacturing plants that once powered its local economy began closing down in the 1980’s but things are starting to turn around now, and one local organization, Springfield On The Move, is helping to move that along. We talk with their executive director, Jessica Martin, about how they’re doing it.
