Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation (BDCC) is a nonprofit economic development organization serving the businesses, people, and communities across Southern Vermont.
For more than 70 years, we have connected businesses, employers, job seekers, municipalities, and community organizations with the resources, expertise, and partnerships they need to thrive. Our work includes small business assistance and financing, commercial real estate and development, workforce training and career education, and community development.
Working alongside local, regional, state, and federal organizations, we help bring resources and investment to Southern Vermont, strengthening our regional economy and creating opportunities for long-term prosperity.
A cornerstone of economic development in Southern Vermont for over seven decades, continually adapting to meet the region’s evolving needs.
In FY24 BDCC leveraged $122k of state funding into economic development for the region to secure over $7 million in funding for programs, projects and partnerships that created $10,612,855 in impact for southern Vermont.
Through BDCC’s Cooperative, Succession, and BizGrowth Programming last year BDCC helped 122 small businesses at every stage.
In FY25, over 1,100 local students took part in events, classes, field trips, mentorships and other career education with BDCC’s Pipelines and Pathways Program delivered in partnership with local schools.
