This effort is funded through a grant from the Better Connections Program, a joint program of the Vermont Agency of Transportation, the Agency of Commerce & Community Development, and the Agency of Natural Resources.

For more information, visit the East Hardwick Better Connections website at http://www.easthardwick.com, or contact Tracy Martin, Hardwick’s Community Development Coordinator, at cdc@hardwickvt.gov.

The Community Support Center located at 56 High Street and open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. has the following items available for people to use in their clean up efforts:

Contractor bags, tarps, box fans, tools, cleaning products, work gloves and sump pumps

Stop by for what you need.

A heads up to everyone that “Team Rubicon” [a veteran-led humanitarian organization, built to serve global communities before, during, and after disasters and crises] will be in Town over the next couple of days to do clean up assessments. They typically wear shirts that say TEAM RUBICON on them.
