MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Vermont officials are promoting a new regional marketing strategy called Strengthening Southern Vermont.
The tagline for the campaign is “So Vermont” and planned tourism advertisements tell visitors to “Become a Vermonter for a weekend.”
The campaign is funded through a federal grant to the Windham and Bennington Regional Planning Commissions. Organizers hope the effort will increase tourism and create jobs in southern Vermont.
