BCK Real Estate, Central VT real estate & community information

The future of a Barre museum is up to the community. The Vermont Granite Museum and Stone Arts School is a cornerstone of our area and is facing a crossroads, as are many institutions across the nation, due to funding. The museum was started and never completed due to a lapse in funding, and while its buildings and premise are an instrumental part of the downtown core, the community’s desires on how to move forward will play a large role in its future.

This Thursday, October 11, from 7 to 9:15 pm, there will be a public forum held at the Vermont Granite Museum to uncover what the community’s interest is in seeing completion of the museum. This is a great opportunity for the Barre community to have its voice heard and help decide on both the area’s future and its preservation of the past.

The town of Barre VT has always been interested in shaping its future while remembering its past. The opportunity for residents to share opinions and have their voices heard is but one aspect of life in our Central Vermont town. Contact us at BCK Real Estate to learn more about living in Central Vermont and how you can become a part of our community.

Barre Opera House, Cornerstone of Community

by John Biondolillo and Shari Aja, BCK Real Estate

The Barre Opera house has long been a cornerstone of the community.  Serving more than just opera, the venue works as a public meeting space as well.  Over the years time has dealt its blows to the opera house, opened in Barre Vermont in 1899 after a fire destroyed it in 1898.  A constant work in progress the last decade has brought a full service box office, state-of the-art lighting, modern heating and cooling, and  other aesthetic improvements.

The Barre community benefits tremendously from the Barre opera House, one of the area’s finest landmarks.  While the diverse offerings are fabulous to enjoy, the wonderfully restored building itself is deeply rooted in the area’s history.  Whether you want to see a production from a local children’s theater, absorb an opera, or take in a town meeting, the Barre Opera House provides a place for community members to convene under similar interests.

A recent article from the Boston Globe highlights the anchor that opera houses provide for different communities throughout Vermont.  Click here to read “Vermont opera houses continue to entertain.  Click here to visit the website for the Barre opera House.

Central Vermont Shelters Could Get More Help

December 13, 2011 by Leave a comment

Barre Vermont

John Biondolillo / BCK Real Estate

Central Vermont shelters could get more help if a Vermont Congressman has his way. Being a small state has its advantages, but when it comes to shelters for the homeless it’s another story. Vermont, and other small states, receive only $300,000 annually in federal funding. When you divide this up between the number of shelters in the state it can be of no surprise that any shelter in Central Vermont is sadly underfunded.

The Good Samaritan Haven, a homeless shelter in Barre Vermont, is filled to capacity and then some. Congressman Peter Welch from Vermont is making his rounds and doing what he can to change federal funding options for smaller states, states which he sees getting short shrift when it comes to funding for the homeless. In larger populations the number of homeless are more obvious, but just because you come from a smaller state does not make the issue any less important. Welch’s goal is to increase smaller state’s aid by $400,000.

The homeless shelter in Barre has been used as a stepping stone for many people caught in unfortunate circumstances. The ability to have a place to regroup is of the essence to get ahead, and the shelter in Barre has served that purpose for many individuals in the Central Vermont community.

by John Biondolillo and Susan Quatrini, BCK Real Estate

The Central Vermont community gets involved with energy efficiency. Workshops titled Button Up Vermont aim to educate home owners in Central Vermont on how they can make changes to their homes that will help them stay warmer without draining their wallets. The workshops are a joint effort put forth by both the Vermont Community Action Council and Efficiency Vermont.

How can these workshops help? Information is power, and the key here is to help those in Central Vermont stay warm this winter while using as little power as possible. The workshops are two hours in length and are designed for small business owners as well as home owners. The three key elements involved include how to make your home or business more energy efficient, more affordable, and more comfortable. Something most owners of Central Vermont real estate strive for. This is the time of year when energy efficiency weighs most heavily on our minds.

There is a Button Up Vermont workshop slated for Wednesday, November 16th, at 7 p.m. in Barre, at the town offices. There will another workshop the following day in Montpelier, at Capital City Grange Hall. At 6:30 p.m. Click here to visit the current calendar of scheduled workshops in Central Vermont.

There are many Button Up Vermont workshops that are already set, but there is also an opportunity to request hosting a workshop as well. Click here to learn more about Button Up Vermont from the Efficiency Vermont website.

Trains are running from Montpelier to Barre, which is great news for those living in Central Vermont who were immediately affected by hurricane Irene.  Transportation is an incredibly important factor in daily life, a factor which when hindered by a natural disaster can seem monumental.  The railways throughout Vermont were impacted by the wrath of Irene but were immediately attended to.  Most services have either resumed or are being attended to by bus systems.
 
Those living in Central Vermont can rest easy knowing a major route, that between Montpelier and Barre, is operational, connecting Central Vermonters with Burlington for those needing to get to work or play.  This is especially positive being that some lines in Vermont are still being worked on.  The NECR (New England Central Rail) has worked tirelessly to resume service to Central Vermont.

Central Vermont communities and organizations have come together in the wake of Irene, getting services back on track and life as close to normal as possible.  The attention to the railways was quick and much appreciated by all.  Click here to visit the website for the NECR and get up to date information on routes you are most interested in.

Tax credit for first-time home buyers?

November 10, 2010 by Leave a comment

When Barre business man Charlie Semprebon passed away, he left millions of dollars for the city of Barre in his will with the intent that it to be used “for the specific purpose of providing for civic improvements that the city cannot afford to pay for out of the general fund budget.”

Mayor Thomas Lauzon would like to use a portion of the multi-million dollar endowment to create the Barre City equivalent of a now-expired federal program that created tax breaks for first-time home buyers.

WCAX covered the story, and recently interviewed John Biondolillo.

“You’ve got a good selection of properties- you’ve got the lowest interest rates, probably in our lifetime- and there’s still some people that are sitting on the fence. So things like this tax credit might be enough to push people off the fence, like it certainly did the last time the federal government did it,” John stated.
