The first ever town owned municipal office building for the Unified Towns
and Gores of Essex County, VT is now under construction in Ferdinand, VT.
A groundbreaking officially took place on July 23, 2009. The building was
made possible through a bond approved by 16 voters and a grant from the
USDA, with interim construction financing through Passumpsic Bank. The
building site is atop a hill with a panoramic view of the area at 233 East
Brighton Road in Ferdinand. The style will be a log cabin type building
which the UTG Board of Governors felt best represented the character of
the municipality. Completion of the project is scheduled for November of
2009. Currently the UTG rents office space in Brighton. (Courtesy Photo)
