NEWPORT, Vt. (AP) A group of people in the northern Vermont city of Newport are looking for a way to save an 81-year-old grandstand in a city park from being demolished.
The discussion by the group that includes Mayor Paul Monette, is driven by the decision by the city council to include funding in the proposed city budget to demolition the grandstand in Gardner Park, the location of a number of athletic fields, the Caledonian Record reported.

Monette says the grandstand is a part of Newport’s history and “all avenues must be researched before just demolishing it.”
