Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for May 15, 2025. Spring is pulsing through the Queen City today and there is plenty happening to get you out and about. First up, a big shoutout to everyone making the annual Spring Move Out Project a success. Now celebrating its 25th year, this project is a community effort that helps keep our neighborhoods clean as students and residents transition at the end of the semester. If you are heading down to Lower Loomis Street between 11 am and 2 pm today, you will see city workers, student volunteers, and local organizations collecting unwanted furniture, clothes, and household items. This is your chance to donate, declutter, or even snag something useful before items are gone. It is all part of this long-running Burlington tradition that keeps tons of material out of the landfill and supports local charities. So stop by, join the effort, or just check out the community spirit in action.
If you are looking to connect with neighbors or shape the future of our local downtowns, South Burlington is hosting its City Center Collaborative Annual Meeting tonight at 6 pm. Head over to hear state officials and local leaders discuss the vital role of downtown organizations in shaping the growth, vibrancy, and safety of our city centers. Whether you are a business owner, a resident, or just someone who cares about what happens on Main Street, your voice makes a difference.
In Burlington city news, the police reported an incident last month involving an assault on an officer and resisting arrest. While details are still emerging, officials remind everyone that community safety is a shared responsibility. If you have any concerns or information that might help, do not hesitate to reach out to local law enforcement. It is a good moment to reflect on how all of us can support a safer, friendlier Burlington.
Looking ahead, keep an eye out for more community-driven events as the season kicks into high gear. Farmers markets are gearing up, waterfront activities are soon to return in full force, and the city is buzzing with preparations for summer festivals. If you have an event or story you think the community should know about, let us know.
That wraps up today’s Burlington Local Frequency. Wherever you are in the city, we hope you get a chance to participate, connect, and enjoy these signs of spring. This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
