WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A group of Hartford officials and advocates for the homeless are working on a plan to create a new shelter that could include a handful of small, potentially transportable micro-dwellings.
The project, which is still in its early stages, would consist of around nine 60-square-foot micro-dwellings that are equipped with heating units and electricity, said former Selectboard member Simon Dennis, who sits on Hartford’s Ad-Hoc Emergency Shelter Committee, the group behind the project. He said he envisions the one-room units made out of polystyrene foam with drywall or siding and flooring.
