VHFA has listed for sale a home at 41 Country Way, Barre. The price for the three-bedroom, two-bath house is $100,000, after a $75,000 grant.
This house is one of the latest to come through the Housing Acquisition & Rehabilitation Program (HARP), where VHFA acquires foreclosed properties from banks, renovates them, and resells them to income-eligible Vermonters.
Ann-Marie Plank was the fourth winner in VHFA’s “Five-Week Wellness Challenge.”
Ann-Marie was selected at random from all staff members who participated in Week #4 of the challenge to receive a gift certificate from Steven and Burns.
The challenge is a progressive fitness program that encourages staff members to make small improvements to their health each week. For this week — Week #5 — staff are encouraged to get up and get moving, drink more water, eat healthier snacks, change one unhealthy behavior and ... do something that makes them happy.
