“With this Roadmap in hand, we now have clear next steps for what we can do to respond at the local level to this global crisis. We now know that it really is possible for Burlington to largely decarbonize the heating and ground transportation sectors by 2030 – and this report makes it more clear than ever that achieving this goal will take actions by all of us."

"I grieve with the loved ones and the communities impacted by this weekend’s violence in El Paso and Dayton. The best way to honor these victims, and those that fell before in Orlando, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, Barre, and so many other U.S. cities, is for the federal government to act and start to fix this uniquely American crisis."

“Nearly eight years ago, as a candidate for mayor, I stood on the steps of City Hall and announced a financial plan that made clear that restoring the City’s fiscal health would be my top priority as mayor,” said Mayor Miro Weinberger. “With last week’s upgrade, following much hard work by the Administration, the City Council, and many others, we have fully delivered on that promise. As a result of these upgrades, we are keeping millions of dollars here in Burlington that would otherwise be sent to Wall Street, and using that money to make necessary investments in public goods."

"Like many in our community, I am frustrated and disappointed that the developers have not commenced construction of CityPlace Burlington. At the same time, Brookfield’s statement today and recent actions demonstrate that there remains a potentially very good path forward with them to transform this long-troubled site into a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood."
