47 North Main St receives tax credit

This past Friday a ceremony was held in front of the recently burned 47 North Main Street in downtown Barre. Governor Jim Douglas was present as well as several other state officials to announce the list of tax credit recipients, one of which was 47 North Main Street. The building dates back all the way to 1912. Many different types of businesses have occupied the building over the years, such as an insurance company, granite dealers, real estate, dentistry, dress maker and a bank. The building was nearly burned down by arsonists earlier this summer yet still stands, albeit in poor condition. Without the tax credit program, this historic building would’ve been demolished, but now has the opportunity to be restored.
