On today’s show, we’re taking a trip to the Green Mountain State for an up close look at one of Vermont’s most pressing economic issues: housing. Kimberly is joined by Carly Berlin, housing reporter for VTDigger and Vermont Public, to talk about the factors driving Vermont’s housing crisis and how solutions, like a catalog of pre-approved home designs, could help fix it. Plus, are you more of a Vermont cheddar or a Ben & Jerry’s type of person?

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• "Vermont Housing Needs Assessment" from the State of Vermont
• "Vermont is overhauling Act 250. Here’s what the development maps look like so far" from Vermont Public
• "Vermont develops catalog of prevetted home designs for faster building" from VTDigger
• "Green Mountain Grub: The Best Things to Eat in Vermont" from Food Network
