Vermont National frees mortgage money at annual meeting
At the Brattleboro shareholders meeting on March 19 Vermont National Bank President John Hunter Jr. outlined a strong mortgage loan commitment for customers. Year end mortgage lending stood near 56 million with over 8 million pumped into loans in 1974, plus an additional 1 million pledged via the Vermont Housing Finance Agency. Hunter noted possible 1975 expansion and discussed House bill 235 tying Vermont mortgage rates to market indices, which could greatly increase loan availability for home buyers.
