Miro Weinberger served as Mayor of Burlington from 2012 to 2024. During his tenure, he led Burlington to become the first U.S. city powered entirely by renewable energy and spearheaded an electrification initiative that resulted in a nearly 20 percent reduction of community emissions, dramatically expanded housing production, and successfully guided the city through a major
financial turnaround.
He is currently Executive Chair of the recently launched Let’s Build Homes, an advocacy organization working to address Vermont’s housing shortage. Miro is also currently serving as a Visiting Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Taubman Center for State and Local Government, as a strategic advisor to the infrastructure tech start-up Cyvl, and as the Leahy
Scholar in Residence at UVM’s Honors College.
Miro was born in Brattleboro, attended public schools in Hartland and Woodstock through high school, and co-founded and led a Vermont-based affordable housing development firm for a
decade before his service as mayor. He now lives in Burlington with his wife and two daughters.
