Recent news & announcements
SEEKING CONTRACTORS FOR SPRING WORK ON BULLOCK BUILDING - As
you probably know the Historic Bullock Building on Main St. has
been purchased (from Buzz Wheeler) by the Readsboro Hometown Redevelopment
Corp. with a grant from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board.
We will begin work on the project in the spring and our committee
would like to use local contractors for the work. Because we are
using HUD funds, there will be requirements (insurance/experience)
which have to be included in an application. We hope to hold a
meeting with interested local contractors to help in the bidding
process. The first phase of our work will make the first floor
of the building accessible to the community for functions. If
you are interested please send a letter to: RHRC PO Box 261, Readsboro
VT 05350 telling us your trade and experience. Contractors/sub
contractors will work under a Construction Manager who is knowledgeable
in historic preservation work. A series of 3 bids will be required
for each contract awarded.
