We've Moved From Newport to Derby!

Our Derby office is now open at 250 Commerce Way! Our former facility on Highland Avenue in Newport served us well for many years but the staff had outgrown the building. While the views of Lake Memphremagog will be missed, the staff is excited about the roominess of the Derby office.

Move-in day was Friday, March 6^th and we opened for business on Monday, March 9^th. The staff is now all above grade and they couldn’t be happier!

The office is a state-of-the-art facility with energy efficient features such as skylights for natural light in the common areas and motion detector lights. The driveway also offers easy in and out access for your larger vehicles and trailers, something that we couldn’t provide at the old office.

Plans are in the works for an open house later in the spring, but take a minute to stop by and have a tour anytime if you are in the area.

New Middlebury Office

The new Middlebury office opened for business on November 24, 2014, just 5 months after breaking ground. The office is located at 320 Exchange St., just down the street from our former location. We held an open house on February 11, 2015, which was attended by members, directors, neighbors, business associates as well as former and current employees.

The staff is excited about the new building which includes many notable improvements. For instance, the driveway has been built so you can pull in with your cattle hauler, milk truck, etc., park and get back out into traffic without issue! The building was also built with a number of energy efficient features such as motion sensors on the lights to conserve electricity. If you get a chance to visit the office, take some time to look at the pictures on the walls. They were taken by a local photographer and feature scenes from around the Addison County area.

If you are in the Middlebury area, please take a minute to come in and say hello. A staff member will be happy to give you a tour!
