To obtain the views of citizens on community development, to furnish information concerning the range of community development activities that have been undertaken under this program, and to give affected citizens the opportunity to examine a statement of the use of these funds. The VCDP Funds received have been used to accomplish the following activities:
Funds were sub-granted to the Northeast Kingdom Development Corporation, a private nonprofit dedicated to economic development projects in the Northeast Kingdom. The Subgrantee used the VCDP funds, along with $9.1 million in other resources, to renovate the historic Yellow Barn at 323 VT Rte 15 and construct a new single story 25,000+ square foot commercial/industrial building at 325 VT RTE 15. Both structures are located on 4.7-acre parcel. Cabot has leased all the space in the historic barn to operate a retail destination featuring its signature cheeses, as well as other local foods and beverages. The new building is leased by two tenants: the Center for an Agricultural Economy’s (CAE) supply-to-chain facilitation service, Farm Connex, and Jasper Hill, which is situating its e-commerce operations.
Information on this project may be obtained from and viewed during the hours of 7:30 am to 3:30 pm Monday through Friday, at the Town Manager’s Office.
