This section follows Burlington city hall and the Chittenden County government, Burlington School District and the education, health care and tourism employers that shape Vermont's largest city. From the Old North End and New North End to the South End, Hill Section and Downtown, neighborhood reporting runs through the city and extends into Franklin County and Grand Isle County where a story crosses the line. Burlington's status as the first U.S. city to operate entirely on renewable energy has made local energy policy and sustainability infrastructure subjects that attract attention beyond Vermont's borders. Housing affordability in a small city with limited developable land and a large student population is the structural condition that returns most consistently to the Burlington city council agenda.
