President of the Bank of North Dakota to headline how public banking could strengthen Vermont's farms, communities, and economyVermont Business Magazine The White River Natural Resources Conservation District is organizing a two-day Vermont Public Banking event. The event brings together farmers, legislators, economists, conservation leaders, bankers, community organizations, students, and citizens to explore how public banking can support resilient farms, thriving communities, and a stronger Vermont economy. The event continues on Wednesday, August 5, welcoming farmers, policymakers, municipal leaders, financial professionals, educators, nonprofit leaders, students, and anyone curious about how public banking could benefit Vermont. The centerpiece of the day is the Public Banking Congress, running from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Vermont Law and Graduate School in South Royalton. Organizers say the strong turnout reflects the growing interest across Vermont in exploring public banking as a tool for economic resilience, and they encourage those unable to attend to reach out with questions about the public banking effort in Vermont.
