The Vermont Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to advancing the Vermont economy. Trusted by the businesses that make living, working, and thriving in Vermont possible, we prioritize collaboration and uphold the core values that define our state As the preeminent not-for-profit business organization, we advocate, build community, and provide resources for businesses statewide.
As we reflect on the 2025–2026 legislative biennium, we are reminded of both the responsibility and the opportunity that come with representing Vermont’s diverse and resilient business community during a period of extraordinary change. Over the past two years, Vermont businesses have faced rising costs, workforce shortages, housing constraints, healthcare affordability challenges, shifting federal priorities, and growing economic uncertainty At the same time, our state continued to confront long-term challenges tied to demographics, competitiveness, and affordability.
Against this backdrop, the Vermont Chamber remained focused on advancing pragmatic, data-informed solutions grounded in the realities facing employers across the state. We advocated for policies that improve affordability, expand opportunity, modernize systems, and support long-term economic growth.
This biennium also marked an important shift in Vermont’s economic conversation Through the Vermont Economic Action Plan, shaped by more than 5,000 Vermonters, we helped establish a shared roadmap for workforce growth, housing development, and economic vitality The launch of the Vermont Competitiveness Dashboard and Business Climate Survey further strengthened Vermont’s ability to connect data, policy, and action. Together, these efforts are helping create a more coordinated approach to solving the challenges that impact businesses, communities, and working Vermonters.
Without legislative supermajorities, policymaking increasingly required collaboration and coalition building. Encouraging developments, including the launch of the bipartisan Caucus for Vermont’s Economy, reflected a growing recognition that Vermont’s economic challenges require sustained attention and bipartisan solutions As the caucus continues to grow, it represents a promising opportunity to build long-term momentum around the policies and investments needed to strengthen Vermont’s future
Meaningful progress was made during this biennium. Legislation advanced to support the construction of more homes, strengthen economic development tools, create new pathways for workforce growth, and begin the difficult work of addressing rising healthcare costs Innovative businesses gained access to new opportunities, and important groundwork was laid for future reforms. Yet Vermont’s affordability challenges will not be solved in a single session or a single biennium. Lasting progress requires sustained leadership, long-term thinking, and a willingness to work together toward shared goals
These outcomes were made possible by our engaged members and our trusted relationships with policymakers and partners across sectors Together, we strengthened the voice of Vermont’s business community while helping shape a more strategic conversation about Vermont’s future.
Thank you for your partnership and continued commitment to advancing Vermont’s economy.

The Vermont Chamber ensured Vermont’s business community had a strong and consistent voice in Montpelier throughout the biennium From committee testimony to bill tracking and coalition engagement, our work connected business realities to policy decisions and helped advance solutions focused on affordability, competitiveness, and long-term economic vitality.
During the 2026 legislative session, lawmakers launched the bipartisan Caucus for Vermont’s Economy to advance policies that strengthen Vermont’s competitiveness and expand opportunity statewide. Led by co-chairs Rep. Abbey Duke and Rep. Ashley Bartley, the caucus brings together House and Senate members to focus on housing, workforce challenges, affordability, regulatory modernization, and business competitiveness
In its first year, the caucus heard from Vermonters about challenges navigating permitting processes and explored ways to improve coordination, predictability, and efficiency across state government. For the Vermont Chamber, the caucus is an encouraging step toward a more coordinated, solutions-oriented approach to Vermont’s economic future, helping turn economic data into action for businesses, communities, and working Vermonters

Record-high government spending in recent years was largely supported by one-time federal pandemic relief funding As we entered the 2025-2026 biennium, these federal dollars were no longer available, presenting a critical challenge: returning state spending to a sustainable level. Despite the economic uncertainty, the majority in the legislature remained focused on maintaining high levels of government spending, introducing new state revenue sources to fund initiatives While these efforts were well-intentioned, the state faces a significant affordability crisis affecting businesses, individuals, and families Sustainable, incremental changes are essential to ensuring a robust and resilient economy.
Even with these financial pressures, several key bills addressing the needs of Vermont's business community successfully moved through the legislative process this biennium. Moreover, a number of proposed tax increases that would have further strained Vermont's economic climate were defeated In the following sections, we provide an overview of critical legislation, roll call votes, and additional details on bills that aim to support businesses and help build a more resilient future for Vermont's economy.
SHAPING VERMONT'S BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC FUTURE

What It Means for Business: Enhancements to the R&D tax credit improve regional competitiveness and lower the cost of innovation Additional provisions support affordability, infrastructure investment, and workforce development
Summary: Increases average property tax rates by 35%, offset by $1009 million in one-time funds. The bill also lowers the threshold for excess education spending, increasing penalties for substantial increases to school budgets
What It Means for Business: The use of one-time funds helped moderate property tax increases in the short term, but businesses continue to face uncertainty until structural reforms address the underlying drivers of education spending
Summary: The FY27 budget makes investments in workforce development, housing, and infrastructure However, some proposed investments were reduced or funded on a one-time basis rather than ongoing support

The challenges facing Vermont are interconnected Workforce shortages, housing availability, affordability pressures, healthcare costs, and economic competitiveness cannot be solved in isolation Addressing them requires a shared understanding of where Vermont is today, a clear vision for where we want to go, and the leadership to turn ideas into action.
That work accelerated during this biennium through the Vermont Futures Project

The work of advancing Vermont's economy requires more than advocacy alone It requires research that informs decision-making, policy leadership that shapes the business climate, and partnerships that bring people together around solutions.
Pinnacle Investors are a community of business leaders who provide leadership support. Their investment helps power the research, advocacy, and statewide collaboration that advance a stronger, more competitive Vermont
Throughout this biennium, Pinnacle Investors helped support efforts to strengthen Vermont's economic future through the implementation of the Vermont Economic Action Plan, member-driven advocacy, business climate research, legislative engagement, and convenings that connected business leaders and policymakers around the state's most pressing challenges
These organizations have demonstrated a commitment to leadership and long-term solutions. We are grateful for their partnership, their vision, and their investment in advancing Vermont's economy.
