State, local leaders to again discuss Poultney's post-Green Mountain College future
POULTNEY — The end appears to be nigh for Green Mountain College, but residents and experts are still organizing to try and salvage what they can from the college and its assets.
The next meeting of the minds will be held Thursday and all town residents are welcome to a free pizza dinner at the Poultney High School to discuss options and continue brainstorming from 5 to 8:30 p.m.
“We’ll have an update from (Green Mountain College President) Bob Allen in terms of the current status...(and) potential prospects,” said Paul Costello, executive director of the Council on Rural Development and facilitator of the meeting.
Costello said his organization, in collaboration with Town Manager Paul Donaldson and the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development, is already considering the formation of a steering committee, identifying leadership teams and a path forward to keep Poultney’s economy stable after the college closes at the end of the semester.
