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.

The share of movers within the U.S. who moved to find more affordable housing has grown in recent years, according to the New York Times.

Mark your calendars for the groundbreaking celebration for South Main Apartments (formerly the state office complex's Ladd Hall) in Waterbury. Senator Patrick Leahy will join developers Central Vermont Community Land Trust and Housing Vermont as the community gathers to kick off the redevelopment of this historic building after the disrepair caused by Tropical Storm Irene.

The goals for green building are no longer low energy but net-zero energy use. The New New Net Zero, by William Maclay and Maclay Architects, features several prominent Vermont buildings and homes to illustrate the possibilities of net-zero design and construction.
