When you think of a cooperative a credit union may not be the first thing that comes to mind. At Community Promise Federal Credit Union they are making that unique financial model work for the benefit of those in the neighborhoods. George Martin has the story.
Once there were local stock exhanges that invested in the community and were instrumental in the creation of jobs. Is this an idea whose time has come again? George Martin reviews the book "Locavesting" and opens the discussion on the possibilities.
