WHAT?

The Town of Hardwick proposes to develop an Essential Services Complex on the 2.8-acre town-owned Creamery Road parcel. The project will include new facilities for: Hardwick Fire Department * Department of Public Works * Hardwick Emergency Rescue

WHY?

More than 60 years ago, Hardwick residents voted to build a new fire station. Only seven years later, they built a new town garage. After decades of service, these facilities are now both structurally deteriorated and undersized for modern trucks and equipment. Repeated flooding events at the Hardwick Fire Station have added urgency to the effort to build a new station outside of the FEMA-mapped floodplain. At the same time, Hardwick Emergency Rescue has been working out of a building that no longer provides adequate space for equipment, supplies, or for on-call squad members.

HOW?

We currently have a unique opportunity to combine FEMA funding for the fire station, with bonded funds, government grants, and private donations, to develop a complex of facilities for essential services that will serve our community many years into the future. The public/private partnership proposed in this plan will make the larger project more competitive with potential funders, while the co-location of services will increase efficiencies and reduce costs

This is an ambitious plan, but it is also one of critical importance to the Town of Hardwick. Please join us on January 21 for a presentation on the project by our partners at Vermont Integrated Architecture, view site and building plans, ask questions, and share concerns. All are welcome.
