Businesses partner to provide over $21,000 in socks and support to local neighbors in need

For the 16th year in a row, Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel, Darn Tough Vermont, and Smartwool have joined forces to donate more than $21,000 worth of socks and financial support to local agencies serving low-income individuals and families. This long-standing partnership helps ensure that neighbors across the region have access to warm Merino wool socks and vital resources as the colder months approach.

Lack of Public Water Infrastructure Halts Affordable Housing in Highgate

In late 2023, the Town of Highgate asked nonprofit developer Cathedral Square to develop affordable housing for older adults in Highgate as part of the Town’s Village Revitalization project. After years of working together, Cathedral Square and the Town of Highgate have made the difficult decision not to move forward with the proposed 30-unit Highgate Village Housing project, after determining that a public water system to serve the development is not feasible. This unfortunate outcome illustrates the challenges that rural communities in Vermont are facing.
