Vermont Capitol Flood Resilience Push

Vermont’s Capitol Complex is set to receive $200 million to rebuild and fortify against future floods after catastrophic July 2023 flooding submerged critical underground infrastructure. Engineers are racing to elevate vital systems without full-scale demolition, while a special panel prepares to approve FEMA funding—possibly as soon as next week. The long-term goal? Making the Capitol resilient enough to survive future floods with minimal damage. Meanwhile, Montpelier and surrounding areas are rolling out broader flood defenses, including turning parking lots back into natural floodplains, to protect communities from what’s coming next.
