Staff
Heather Hurlbert | Business Development Specialist
I first came to know CVEDC many years ago through my work in local non-profits and community lending and more recently have helped with the small business grant programs. Now as the Business Development Specialist at CVEDC I have the privilege of using my experience with small businesses, affordable housing development, commercial lending, and a provider of technical assistance to continue to help our local economy here in central Vermont. I have served as the Board President and Secretary for Community Capital of VT and as a community development adviser for Mascoma Bank's Community Development Entity. I live in Barre with my 2 children and spend my free time snapping pictures on the back roads as I make my way to every bookstore in VT, reading, and bookmarking recipes that I may, or may not, ever make.
