The September/October issue of Livin' the Vermont Way magazine features a story titled "Hunkering Down: Vermont's banks weather the economic storm."
The 3-page article by Cindy Ellen Hill of Middlebury quotes Tom Candon, Deputy Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Banking, Insurance, Securities and Health Care and a Commissioner of VHFA: "The national economy does impact on us here ... but we're apparently better off than most are."
The article points out Vermont has one of the lowest rates of foreclosures and bankruptcies in the U.S.
The issue is on newsstands now, and eventually will be online at www.livinmagazine.com.
