Belvedere seeks $3,250 Brownfields phase‑1 survey for old school conversion
Summary
The board approved $3,250 for a phase‑1 historic and site review to support Belvedere’s potential purchase and conversion of an old school building for community and municipal use.
The board voted to approve a Brownfields phase‑1 assessment grant of $3,250 to support Belvedere’s possible purchase and repurposing of an old school building into a municipal and community center.
Staff said the phase‑1 work would include a historic review, a windshield survey, interviews with past and present owners, and a written report to inform grant applications and preservation efforts. Tyler, Belvedere’s new municipal representative, said the town will hold an informational meeting for residents and consider partnering with the Vermont Trust Initiative to establish a community trust for redevelopment.
The motion to award the phase‑1 assessment carried; the transcript records one abstention. Staff and town representatives will proceed with the survey and outreach to residents.
