The Preservation Trust of Vermont has awarded Memphremagog Community Maritime (MCM) and the Northern Star a $50,000 community revitalization grant that will help preserve and support the activities of the Northern Star.
âWe have been working on this grant for over two years, and it has finally come to fruition,â said David Converse, board president of MCM.
âNewport is truly a special place,â stated Ben Doyle, president of the Preservation Trust of Vermont. âThis investment in the Northern Star recognizes the wonderful work community leaders have accomplished as they seek to âreturn to the lakeâ and leverage outdoor recreation assets for greater economic activity in the downtown. We look forward to seeing folks out on the water!â
