The House Concurrent Resolution designates February 20, 2025, as NEK Day at the State House, recognizing the unique characteristics and contributions of the Northeast Kingdom (NEK) region of Vermont, which includes Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans counties. The resolution highlights the NEK's distinct rural nature, its natural assets such as forests and scenic landscapes, and its vibrant communities comprising over 60,000 residents across 55 towns. It emphasizes the region's strengths in outdoor recreation, agriculture, and a creative economy, as well as its entrepreneurial spirit and educational institutions.

Despite facing economic and demographic challenges, including higher poverty and unemployment rates, the NEK is portrayed as a resilient area that embraces collaboration and optimism for the future. The resolution calls for the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Northeast Kingdom Collaborative, further promoting awareness and appreciation for the region's contributions to Vermont.
