In Barre Town Newsletter – February 2010

Barre Town wrote a detailed update on the infrastructure work which has been taking place at the Wilson Industrial Park, site of the new SBE manufacturing facility. We are sharing the key highlights here:
“After November, the Department of Public Works finished the electric, phone, and cable TV conduits to Bolster Road. Seven concrete electrical vaults were installed. Green Mountain Power started work towards extending 3-phase power down Bolster Road. In the Spring, it will pull its electric cables through the conduit. Also this Spring, the Department of Public Works must construct the gravel base of the industrial park road from Bolster Road to SBE’s driveway. The road will be gated and the Town will contract for road paving and stormwater retention pond construction.
The Town is also expected to close the real estate sale very soon with SBE. The Town received a $1 million Community Development Block Grant, most of which will be loaned to SBE, and the loan documents should be signed soon. The Town is also making plans, with Barre Area Development, to re-use the SBE loan money for a business revolving loan fund that would serve Barre Town and Barre City.”
