There was a recent program (not sure if the deadline has passed) that grants $10,000 to people who move into the state and work remotely.

It didnt matter if you were black, pakistani, yankee, gay, trans, polyamorous, jewish, sikh, female, short, tall, disabled, athletic, or red-haired.

In other words - Vermonters treat people as people. Move in, get involved locally, dont try and change the place to be like where you came from, treat others well, and mind your business - nothing else really matters.

If you're looking to move in and insist on legislative changes for your personal situation - yeah, that might fly in Montpelier, but it's not going to work "on the ground," whether you're a Connecticut Real Estate Mogul or a PETA activist or a Fundamentalist theocrat or a White Nationalist or a Progressive Hero or any other brand of Personal Agenda.

Good people are welcome here, and all sorts of people are welcomed regularly. End of story.

The Vermont Worker’s Relocation Incentive Program is still accepting applications and you can apply whether you intend to work remotely or you are offered a job located in Vermont. There are more applications in now though than there is money available so chances of actually getting your move covered is low.
