Northeast Kingdom Community Action (NEKCA) wants to move to a new facility in St. Johnsbury

Northeast Kingdom Community Action (NEKCA) wants to move to a new facility in St. Johnsbury. And the town is already helping them. NEKCA’s current St. Johnsbury location is at a former school at 115 Lincoln Street but the organization is now considering a move to 1306 Memorial Drive, where they will combine the current buildings with a new structure. It’s early in the process, but the St. Johnsbury Select Board recently approved a pass-through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application of $60,000 to do the planning. If approved, the town would receive the state grant money but it would then be passed along to NEKCA.
