About a month after this year's Town Meeting, the Wolcott Selectboard appointed a five member committee (Chad Roy, chair, Brenda Gravel, Don Lowell, Bruce Wheeler, and Bill Cotten) to review and recommend what to do about the Old School next to the Town Office on School Street. The school has not been used in over 13 years and needs some significant work to be made usable again.
The Committee has been meeting every other Thursday evening at 6PM at the Town Office. We have had an architectural assessment of the building done (Got a State matching grant to pay for it!) plus have had a meeting and ongoing contact with appropriate Vermont resources in charge of grants for historic buildings. The Old School is on The Vermont State Historic Registry.
As we contemplate our recommendation(s), we would like input – ideas detailing how The Old School could be used as an asset to the town. Planned use will have a direct influence on the availability of any future grants to help defray local expenditure.
The committee strongly feels that just letting The Old School sit and deteriorate before our eyes is not an option. It should either be restored or torn down.
Hence, we solicit your help. Please contact any committee member with ideas or attend a future meeting! Meetings will be posted on Wolcott Front Page Forum and at the Town Office.
Please plan to attend the next meeting August 18th , 6PM at the Town Office.
