Good Evening:
The work that that necessitated the closure of Upper Dummerston Road was completed today. Upper Dummerston Road will not be closed tomorrow, as previously planned.
Greetings.
As you may have heard, after ten years at the Latchis I will be stepping down from my position as Executive Director at the end of June. What a wonderful time it has been.
Most of the wonder comes from the support of people like you, who helped us meet every challenge, from annual appeals to capital campaigns, to facing down the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene.
Dear Property Owners, Business Owners and Brattleboro Residents,
Welcome to Spring! It has been a pleasure to serve as your Downtown Coordinator with Building a Better Brattleboro (BaBB) over the past few months. Since wrapping up the holiday season, we have made strides in re-examining the focus, culture and brand of the organization, as well as to reflect upon the realities of the shifting landscape we live in.
Due to equipment issues, the two-day closure of Dummerston Road where it intersects with I-91did not start today, as previously planned. The closure will occur on Monday and Tuesday, May 19 and 20, for daytime hours only, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
