Former U.S. Senator and long-time Vermont resident Jim Jeffords died this morning. Since retiring from the Senate in 2007, Jeffords has lived in Knollwood Military Retirement Residence in the Washington, DC area near his family.
Today marked VHFA’s unprecedented release of $20 million in financing for Vermont home buyers with a new, historically low, fixed interest rate of 3.875% for 30-year mortgages. The low rate is available for VHFA’s conventional and government loan programs, and is available exclusively through VHFA participating lenders.
Dramatic renovations at the former Arthur’s Department Store in Morrisville were the subject of a Fox 44 story over the weekend. The building is being converted from vacant, unused space into 18 units of affordable housing, thanks in large part to housing tax credit funding provided through VHFA.
