Local news from across Southern Vermont.
The News Project features local newsmakers and focuses on issues impacting Southern Vermont. Our hosts bring you in-depth interviews with local leaders, coverage of community stories and events, and discussions on issues that matter most to our Northshire neighbors—from local elections and town meetings to arts, education, and environmental initiatives. Whether you’re interested in regional politics, the latest local happenings, or community-focused stories, The News Project keeps you informed and engaged with the heart of the Northshire region.
