Thank you to our 20 New Members!
CVEDC receives funding from municipalities, the Agency of Commerce and Community Development, and from its member businesses. Membership is a key part of our budget and helps us create the most robust programming we can for the businesses we support in Central Vermont.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses reached our office more than ever to navigate the challenges, pivots, and opportunities created during this unprecedented time. In 2023, we have a record number of memberships including a record number (20) of new members. We appreciate hearing from all of you about why CVEDC and our regional business community matter to you more than ever. Let’s take a look at these 20 amazing new member businesses and what they’re up to.
“We recently completed work on a film about civic engagement that is premiering at the South by Southwest film festival on the 12th and have recently launched a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on community building and workforce development for people in Vermont film & media industries ”
“The Central Vermont Career Center (CVCC) is located in Barre, VT and serves 18 towns, 6 school districts: Barre, Cabot, Harwood, Montpelier, Twinfield and Washington Central (U-32). At CVCC, we are training students to become the next generation of mechanics, graphic designers, chefs, plumbers, contractors, hair stylists, EMTs, nurses, and much more. These are high-demand, well-paying careers. But just as important, we are giving them the opportunity to find those rewarding careers right here in Vermont. Many go on to earn college or graduate degrees before returning to the communities that raised them, while others enter their chosen careers directly. Regardless of the paths they choose, CVCC students see the real possibilities beyond what they’re learning. Each day they acquire new skills that bring them closer to the career or degree programs they can’t wait to embark on. In the past, career and technical education has often been an afterthought, but we are seeing more and more that it is a critical part of a high quality PreK - 12 education - especially in the middle and high school grades.”
“What sets TCM apart from the competition is its commitment to a holistic approach that combines strategy and execution in a unique and powerful way.

“Max Razy is a local Vermont clothing company, based in Orange VT, sold online at maxrazy.com and at Althea’s Attic Boutique in Montpelier VT. Each piece is designed and crafted in Orange VT. Our pieces are made out of quality imported European fabrics. Our focus is on clothing that has fit and function. I’ve been in the clothing industry for over 20 years, and from personal experience, some days after spreading out rolls of fabrics for cutting, I can’t raise my hands over my head. I started moving towards designing easy to wear layers.”
“Eternity has been building websites and relationships for the past 23 years in Vermont. We are passionate about working with non-profits, member associations and travel and tourism clients all throughout Vermont and New England. While we build websites, our main focus is building a long lasting relationship and partnership with our clients.”
We just recently launched a new website for CAPSTONE (capstonevt.org) and also work with many other Central Vermont clients like: Downstreet, Barre Opera House, Vermont Granite Museum, Vermont Historical society, to name a few.”
“R. Edwards & Company is an East Calais-based architecture practice founded by architect and sixth-generation Vermonter, Ryan Edwards, AIA. The practice is dedicated to creating contextual and creative craft-focused architecture, as well as thoughtfully rehabilitating and preserving historic buildings throughout Vermont. Recent projects include the renovation of Memorial Hall in North Calais, the East Calais General Store in East Calais, the Danville Train Station in Danville, as well as architectural feasibility studies for WorkWright Vermont in Fairfax, and the East Peacham Schoolhouse in Peacham. R. Edwards & Company also conducts numerous Conditions Assessments for Preservation Trust of Vermont which serve to lay the groundwork for future renovations and repairs to historic buildings throughout Vermont.”
“The business of feeding people is going well as we continue to deliver ready to eat meals to folks who need them.
Broadband rollout is ramping as we approach the 2023 construction season. We are contending with supply chain and labor issues as we help bring rural fiber optic connectivity to all Vermonters.
