Episode Details

Montpelier’s long-vacant, flood-damaged Federal Building has a new owner: the 87 State Street Local Development Corporation, which won it in auction. With 70,000 square feet and a history dating back 70 years, the nonprofit plans to transform it into a vibrant mix of shops and housing — a major shot at revitalizing downtown. But challenges loom: PCB contamination (cleanup could cost $1.8M–$3M) and flood resilience are top priorities. They’re eyeing environmental grants to help shoulder the burden — and aim to make this landmark last for another century.
