MONTPELIER, Vt. Building a new facility with 125 to 150 beds to replace Vermont’s outdated women’s prison will take at least six years to become a reality, lawmakers said Friday, and cost $50 million to $60 million.
The state’s current capital budget for all new construction is around $62 million a year.
BURLINGTON, Vt. â Nine Vermont municipalities, including Northfield and Shrewsbury, are being sued because of a claim they have been prohibiting or restricting access to public government records, citing COVID-19 concerns, according to a lawsuit filed in Vermont Superior Court in Burlington.
The lawsuit has major statewide implications because the final ruling could impact how taxpayers can get proper access to all kinds of public records stored in town halls across Vermont. It also could determine how more than 240 municipal clerks and their staffs will be required to provide service during the pandemic.
The communities named in the lawsuit are Bolton, Georgia, Lincoln, Milton, Northfield, Plainfield, Shrewsbury, South Burlington and Whiting.
BURLINGTON â A Vermont Superior Court judge agreed Friday to conduct a trial in late January about whether municipal clerks must keep offices open to the public in need of access to government records during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nine Vermont municipalities â ranging from tiny Whiting in Addison County to bustling South Burlington in Chittenden County â are named in a lawsuit that maintains they are among a large number of communities that have made it impossible or difficult to get access to important land records required for real estate sales.
The plaintiff, the Connecticut Attorneys Title Insurance Co. in South Burlington, maintains that various lawyers need full access to the public records to complete research for real estate deals in communities throughout Vermont. The lack of access can block buyers and sellers and those trying to refinance.
