I strongly oppose the proposed rule changes in the Community
Reinvestment Act (RIN 3064-AC50). This action will do harm to rural
communities. : As Director of an Economic Development District in the
most rural state in the country, the proposed changes to the CRA will be
devastating for rural Vermonters. It will impede economic growth and
hinder sustainable communities. Rural areas are being hit hard and
cannot afford additional legislation which stifles growth and
development. I would strongly urge you not to approve these CRA changes.
