VCDA 2025 Fall Conference

Communities across the state are exploring ways to repurpose underutilized buildings into valuable local assets. This year’s VCDA Fall Conference will explore how these spaces can be transformed to meet evolving community needs. Whether it’s impending school closures, vacant churches, or unused municipal space, Vermont communities are thinking proactively about the potential uses of these buildings – from housing to childcare centers, local gathering hubs, and more. Attendees will learn about creative financing pathways, partnership models, and hear success stories. Join local leaders, planners, and development partners to share ideas, strategies and inspiring examples of how the reuse of these assets can strengthen and revitalize our communities.

​Don't miss this opportunity to connect with fellow community champions, gain valuable insights, and contribute to the collective work of building a brighter future for Vermont.
