Lyndon Downtown Revitalization Corp. Asks Town for $25,000 a Year for Five Years

LYNDON — The Lyndon Downtown Revitalization Corp. has asked the town for $25,000 a year for five years. The money would help LDRC to establish a full-time executive director position dedicated to economic development efforts, a requirement of Lyndon’s bid for a Vermont Downtown Designation. LDRC board members filled the room at the Select Board’s Nov. 2 meeting to make the case in person. The Select Board took no action, with members saying they need firm figures on what the request would mean for property taxes before deciding whether to include the proposed amount, or a lesser amount, in next year’s budget.
