Here is info about the project:
Burlington Community Resource Map $3500 Burlington, VT

The goal of the BCRM is to create a web-based “green map” that will chart Burlington’s natural assets, cultural sites, and burgeoning local economy. This green map will be located on the easily-accessible Green Map website (http://www.greenmap.org/) as a Google map, into which asset-specific information can be linked. Community members will be solicited to submit their green business, food-production endeavor, community program, and other resources to the map for publication. We hope that theBCRM will not only act as a support system for businesses, non-profit service providers, community organizers and tourists seeking to learn more about Burlington’s green resources, but will also provide a tool for reducing the carbon footprint of our community, preparing for a low-carbon future, and building a stronger, more resilient Burlington.

Funding for this initiative will be used to for:
- registration fee to add the BCRM to the Green Map website,
- outreach and education to generate awareness,
- and wiki that will allow inclusive participation from the community,
- data entry,
- formatting and publishing a first edition of the BCRM in the spring of 2010, and
- a site manager for ongoing updating and management.
