These key financial metrics along with balance sheet growth and results of operations are within the range of our expectations for 2019. We recently opened two full service branch locations in Jericho and Williston, Vermont. These locations are located in Chittenden County, Vermont’s most populous and economically vibrant region. The Williston location also houses our robust mortgage lending operation previously located in rented space in South Burlington, Vermont. Growth in Chittenden County is an important part of our organic growth strategy. The Board of Directors also declared a cash dividend of $0.31 per share payable November 7, 2019 to shareholders of record as of October 28, 2019.
