Evergreen Manor Gets Federal Money
HARDWICK – The Lamoille Housing Partnership will purchase and rehabilitate the 32-lot Evergreen Manor Mobile Home Park on Mackville Road at the southern end of town.
Downtown services are within walking distance, but there is minimal traffic in the park area. Homes will be rehabilitated and electric, sewer and water systems will be improved.
The Vermont Housing and Conservation Board will provide $505,000 in state and federal HOME program grant funds and the Vermont Community Development Program will provide $461,600 to the project.

Sewer Meeting
Allen Morgenroth, of Morgenroth Associates of Boston, Hardwick Village’s consulting engineer for the forthcoming $2.8 million sewer project, met last Thursday night with Village President Ellis Richardson and the board of trustees. Stephen Hill and Almon Bedell. The purpose of the meeting was for discussion and preparation of Step Two Grant application to the federal government for its aid in financing the project. Under current federal regulations, the federal government will pay for 75 per cent of the costs, the state will pay for 15 per cent and local taxpayers, 10 per cent. The Step 2 grant is for final design of the project which could begin late next year. However, before the village is granted any federal money, it must acquire all the rights of way and easements needed for the project. Also, the land for the treatment plant and lagoon must be purchased. The proposed site is off Lower Wolcott Street. Village officials are negotiating with Walter (Larry) Urie for the purchase of the desired site. President Richardson said it will be necessary to have a special village meeting to adopt by-laws for the sewer system.

– Today is All Fools’ Day. In attempting to discover the origin of its curious observance, we discovered that its inception is not quite clear, possibly French. We also discovered that solemn and dignified maker of encyclopedias was once frivolous enough to suggest that an appropriate errand for the day is sending one to the library to look for “The Life of Adam’s Grandfather.”
