Episode Details

Washington County’s mental health services are set to unite under one roof on Granite Shed Lane in a $6.2 million consolidation project designed to serve 50 patients daily with 93 staff. The move brings together crisis response, substance use, and community support programs from multiple locations—including Central Vermont Medical Center and Barre—plus The Access Hub’s urgent care services. The building will be expanded with a second floor and undergo major renovations. While the development board recently closed public hearings and moved to private deliberations for efficiency, permits may be delayed until the zoning administrator returns from vacation. A secure entrance and one of two proposed signs still require approval, and despite narrow road access near railroad tracks, the site remains zoned for Riverfront District use. The board’s prior 2020 site plan approval has helped streamline the process, though waivers are still needed for key elements.
