Vermont’s Shifting Population

By |
Close to 500 people moved to Vermont last year, and most of them chose to live in Chittenden County. Meanwhile, counties in southern Vermont saw declines in population. We take a look at the numbers with Will Sawyer, from the State Data Center, and we examine the economic impacts with Jim Matteau, in Brattleboro. Also, we talk to Vermont’s Deputy Commissioner of Banking, Tom Candon, about the recent security breach at Hannaford stores.  And, we visit master flutemaker Jonathon Landell in Richmond.
