The annual Farm Show kicks off tomorrow in Central Vermont. Held at the Champlain Valley Expo in Essex Junction, the Farm Show offers a wealth of information on new equipment, classes and information for a variety of farming methods, and even a cook-off and a famers market. The event is great for vendors and visitors and is heavily attended. The Farm Show was held in Barre Vermont but as attendance levels grew so did the need for more space.

Wednesday is consumer night at the show, presenting an opportune time to buy local food, witness awards to local students, and enjoy a cooking competition. Central Vermont residents can learn a lot more about where there food comes from and more on this special evening.

Farming is an important part of Vermont’s history and future and the annual Farm Show allows farmers to see advances in technology, changes in the industry, as well as possibilities to expand and maximize production in environmentally friendly ways. This is a great way for visitors to see how important farming is to Central Vermont, as well as for farmers to connect and network.

It looks like Barre Vermont is going to be the workplace for state workers displaced by Hurricane Irene.  Government offices in Waterbury were terribly damaged from the storm that tore through Central Vermont this past Fall and the Governor has stated his dedication to securing jobs as well as office space and eyes are on Barre. The Mayor is backing up this plan.

According to a recent article in the Times Argus, “Lauzon builds on Shumlin promise of state jobs”, approximately 1500 state employees were misplaced by the damage to the offices in Waterbury, which means a potentially large number of people coming to Barre for work. More people means a boost to Barre’s economy.

Hand in hand with the possibility of government workers being relocated to Barre comes the development of City Place, an exciting mix of retail, office space and more that is intended to invigorate downtown Barre. This could also be a location for some of the state’s misplaced workers.

While Hurricane Irene devastated parts of Central Vermont, some good has come from a bad situation. Barre Vermont stands to have an opportunity to reinvent itself while revitalizing its core. Contact us at BCK Real Estate to learn more about Barre real estate opportunities as well as real estate opportunities throughout Central Vermont.

Central Vermont communities have received some funds to help recover from Hurricane Irene. The devastation caused by Irene was deep, as one of the area’s worst recorded storms, and many homeowners lost much more than power, many lost their homes and their livelihood. While many think of home owners being affected, renters throughout Central Vermont were affected as well.

In early December funding was allotted for affordable rental housing to be built in Barre Vermont. The funding will help those in need of affordable housing in Barre to have a roof over their head. Affordable rentals throughout the Central Vermont area are in need as so many residents were misplaced as a result of Irene. Funding continues to be doled out to help people in a variety of ways, from financial counseling and home buying education to money for repairs and rebuilding.

Contact BCK Real Estate today to learn more about investing in Central Vermont real estate.  There couldn’t be a better time to buy rental property in Vermont.  Interest rates are exceptionally low and whether you would like to buy a house or a multi-dwelling unit, if becoming a landlord is in your plans you could be helping families displaced by flooding at the same time.
