Morgan's Kitchen to host fall festival Sept. 27; mayor cites $10,000 support and ongoing hillside stabilization needs
Summary
Mayor Scott James said Morgan's Kitchen will hold its annual fall festival Sept. 27 and that Delegate Hall helped secure $10,000 to shore up building structure; he also said state Department of Highways work is expected at some point to stabilize a slipping hillside.
Mayor Scott James said Morgan's Kitchen, a historic structure and site in St. Albans, will hold its annual fall festival on Sept. 27 and that local leaders secured $10,000 in assistance to shore up the building.
"They received $10,000. I know, Delegate Hall was very, influential in getting them $10,000 to shore up the structure of the building," James said on the podcast. He said that work is intended to address hillside slipping near the site and that the state Department of Highways has been mentioned as a future partner to perform larger-scale stabilization along a two-mile stretch of hillside above the road.
James described recent improvements on the Morgan's Kitchen grounds, including an Eagle Scout project to build a fire pit that will be used for the festival's apple-butter demonstrations. He said the fall festival will feature the apple butter and arts-and-crafts vendors and encouraged the public to attend on Sept. 27.
The mayor cautioned that state work on the hillside has been discussed for years and that the timing of any Department of Highways stabilization project is not certain. Residents seeking specifics about state involvement or the $10,000 expenditure should consult Morgan's Kitchen organizers and DOH project listings; the podcast provided the mayor's summary, not detailed engineering or grant documents.
