BARNET — The Vermont Agency of Transportation recently notified the select board that grant for a new Park-and-Ride in town had been approved. The project manager with the state’s Project Delivery Bureau – Municipal Assistance within the VTrans Highway Division at the Vermont Agency of Transportation, wrote the board in mid-December, “Congratulations, your project has been chosen to receive the requested funding under the 2023 Municipal Park-and-Ride Grant Program.” The board sought grant funding for a park-and-ride to be constructed on Church Street and noted that an important reason for choosing the location was that it could, down the road, serve as additional parking for the old town hall that’s being restored and will be brought back on line for municipal use including the annual March Town Meeting, once the work is completed.
