VNRC is pleased to announce that Kate McCarthy, our Sustainable Communities Program Director, was appointed this summer to the Board of the Vermont Housing & Conservation Board (VHCB) by Vermont House Speaker Mitzi Johnson. She will sit on the Board as a Montpelier resident rather than on behalf of VNRC.

Kate is looking forward to supporting the Board’s community revitalization goals from a smart growth perspective, and helping to ensure that housing in Vermont enables a variety of transportation options. She is also eager to contribute to the Board’s work conserving land for a wide range of environmental and economic values.

Congratulations, Kate! We can’t wait to see what VHCB continues to accomplish with the benefit of your guidance and expertise. To learn more about VHCB’s work, visit www.vhcb.org.
