Vermont Innovation Box opened at the end of January at 70 Landmark Hill Drive. Chris Willett, operations curator at Vermont Innovation Box, estimated renovations took about a year to complete.
The property â once known as the Smyth Mansion, which has housed over the years a nightclub, a community college, a dentist office and a gym â now includes a few anchor tenants, but the focus will mostly be on startups and entrepreneurs who need space to work or want to collaborate. Willett envisions them getting help from those with experience with market research, information technology, software development and financing.
