St. Johnsbury is bustling, with another record-breaking year of new businesses and exciting events and activities in every season. Much of this bustle seems to be driven by a decidedly creative group of community members. The creative economy–which encompasses economic development activities that include the arts, culture, design, makers, and artisanal products of all kinds–makes up a large proportion of our local economy. The report, ‘Building on a Legacy of Creativity: Understanding and Expanding the Creative Economy of the Northeast Kingdom’ (Vermont Creative Network, 2018), found that the concentration of creative industries is 31% higher in the Northeast Kingdom than in the rest of the country. Discover St. Johnsbury wants to learn more about how this is affecting St. Johnsbury’s growth, so I've set out to interview a selection of both new and established creative business owners downtown to share their stories and insights with you. Read on for our interview featuring Michelle Faye, owner of Chrysalis Creative. Last year around this time, we were over-the-moon to share that a dozen new businesses had opened in downtown St. Johnsbury in 2021. Little did we know that 2022 would more than double that number! St. Johnsbury's transformation since the start of the pandemic has been profound. When we look at our town today, it's easy to see that a rural revival is taking place. Please help us welcome 2022's new businesses... all 29 of them! This year, Valentine's Day falls on a Tuesday, and businesses are getting creative with the date they celebrate.
