Vermont Business Magazine Last week was a big one for the non-profit Alburgh Family Clubhouse, Inc. On March 2, Alburgh voters approved building the center on school property with a 2-1 margin (404-200). And the next day, the childcare center was awarded $100,000 toward construction costs by the Hoehl Family Foundation.
The Alburgh Family Clubhouse will serve 62 children: 16 infants, 10 toddlers, 18 preschoolers, and 18 school-age children, beginning with afterschool services for preschoolers and school age children in the Alburgh School in the Fall of 2021, and then adding infants and toddlers, and moving the preschool to the new Center in the Summer of 2022.

DVFiber, a communications union district (CUD) consisting of 20 towns in southern Vermont, seeks to build a Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network to more than 10,000 unserved and underserved households and businesses. DVFiber recently released a Request for Proposal (RFP) in search of private sector partners to develop a public/private partnership agreement.
DVFiber envisions completing all connections by 2024 in two or three phases, with major progress to be made in the first year. The RFP provides information on member towns, details possible funding avenues identified by its governing board, and sets expectations for the resulting network.
