For Passumpsic Bank, investing is never just about a building or a transaction. It’s about strengthening the communities people choose to build their lives in. 

“Why we invest is deeply personal because our customers are our neighbors, our business owners, our families, and our communities. At Passumpsic Bank, there’s no separation between the success of the bank and the well-being of the places we call home” said Jim Kisch, President of Passumpsic Bank. “When local businesses thrive and families can build stable lives here, we all move forward together.”

That values-driven approach is what makes Passumpsic Bank such a natural partner to the Northern Forest Center. This shared approach aligned naturally when the Center stepped in to redevelop the historic 1909 armory at 560 Railroad Street in downtown St. Johnsbury, Vermont. The project transformed an underutilized building into nine new homes and two commercial spaces, meeting urgent housing needs while investing in the heart of the community.
