Maine and VT are two states without billboards in the continental US. I recommend checking upstate Maine out as well.

There are also jobs available - you just have to search on the town websites. Generally in VT, salaries don’t often align with the cost of living - just a fair warning. Here’s an example from Lyndon: https://www.lyndonvt.org/job-opportunities

Thank you.

Northernmost New England would be my thing. I thrive in cold weather, plow snow for a town, love scrounging free wood for my stove and fatbike all winter. From what I can tell, that all kinds works up there.

I've lived in eastern PA for 50 years and am watching it get paved over and I need out eventually.

You can also watch the State Vtrans job boards. My grandfather retired from the AOT plowing roads after many years and he got a lot of fulfillment from his service to the State. Hats off to you and all the other plow drivers out there - lot of late nights, early mornings, and important work.

There are currently sign on and retention bonuses: https://vtrans.vermont.gov/aot-recruitment

Much appreciated!

I'd love to push the snow up there at 2 am far more than this salt-infused sleet/glaze cement we tend to get here these days, lol.
