HARDWICK – The Civic Standard is asking for letters of interest for the use of the building at 42 South Main St. Built circa 1860, the building is the oldest in Hardwick’s downtown. It initially served as a hardware store, before becoming the headquarters of The Hardwick Gazette in 1908 and remaining so for more than a century. It is currently owned by The Civic Standard, which will be relocating by the end of the year. Individuals, collectives and organizations interested in taking on the work required to save this building are encouraged to submit a one- to two-page letter of interest by December 1. The review committee welcomes thoughtful, creative proposals for temporary and/or permanent building use that will benefit the Hardwick community. Applicants will be notified with a decision once all letters have been reviewed. To learn more about the building and the letter of interest submission and review process, visit thecivicstandard.org/about-7. Questions should be directed to Helen Sher at [email protected].
