The next monthly meeting of the West Brattleboro Association (WBA) will be held at the New England House
on Thursday, April 10th at 6:00 PM. The guest speaker will be Chris Hart, Executive Director of the Brattleboro Housing Authority who will discuss possible future uses for the Melrose Terrace housing complex once residents are moved to new quarters being built on Canal Street called Red Clover Commons. The group will discuss various other items including the upcoming Green-Up Day on May 3rd and the semi-annual Chicken Barbecue sponsored by WBA on May 24th, the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. It will be held once again in the front of the West Brattleboro Congregational Church.
The May WBA meeting on Thursday, May 8th will feature guests Pat Moulton Powden and Laura
Sibilia of the Southeast Vermont Economic Development Strategies/SeVEDS group and Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation/BDCC. Topics will likely focus on the recently published regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy/CEDS plan.
The purpose of the Association is to promote the thoughtful and effective evolution of the community of West Brattleboro as a place that is safe, healthy, attractive, and prosperous. In the case of the March meeting, the goal is to help West B residents be informed Brattleboro community members. Check out the group’s website at www.westbrattleboro.org or join us at our meetings. They’re open to all residents and business owners.
