Vermont Brownfield funding supports small town economics and creates community space.
Albany Community Trust, Inc. has received $17,850 in grant funding from the State of Vermont’s Brownfield Initiative to remediate the former Albany General Store property.
The presently shuttered building has a 100 plus year history of operating as a general store. The closure was necessitated by an electrical fire in 2013.
