In July’s VermontBiz we profile Michael Monte — a man with a

passion to do the right thing. This indomitable community

organizer and housing advocate continues to fight for the

community he loves as executive director of the Champlain

Housing Trust — the largest community land trust in the country!

We also talk with Blumenthal Enterprises’ Will Jeffries, who helps

innovators transform concepts into successful business ventures.

The key to his success? A pivotal meeting with Scott Holson at

the Vermont Small Business Development Center — A wonderful

example of how supporting the growth of one business can yield

exponential benefits!

And in VermontBiz’ technology news: two of Vermont’s 10

Communications Union Districts, NEK Broadband and CVFiber,

are planning a merger to enhance high-speed internet access

across their combined 71 communities.

All this and more is in the July Issue of VermontBiz. Serious
