The redevelopment in Vermont exemplifies so much of why we do what we do and will include workforce housing, childcare, a senior center, and a recreation center—truly serving the community in multiple ways. The deal was complex, but the impact of this project will be long-lasting. It’s the kind of work that exemplifies our mission and will no doubt serve as a case study for years to come.”
