DORSET â The popular Dorset Quarry swimming hole on Route 30 is reopening for the season this Memorial Day weekend under new ownership.
Ryan Downey, a land surveyor and former town selectman, acquired the quarry and an adjacent lot last October, he said in an interview on Tuesday.
Downey began making improvements to the quarry-adjacent lot in 2019, expanding its parking lot and overhauling its landscaping.
Originally Downey had expected to acquire only the parking-lot parcel from its previous owners, Richard and Kirsten McDonough, with the nonprofit Vermont River Conservancy taking ownership of the quarry itself, which the McDonoughs also owned. But the nonprofit later determined that it did not have the capacity to manage the site, and the deal fell through last year.

Can you imagine being imprisoned simply because of your heritage? Can you imagine being given a day or two or a few weeks to be able to settle your affairs rent or sell your home, sell or close your business? Can you imagine being denied the right to the money in your own bank account?
It may be hard to imagine, but for more than 112,000 Americans with Japanese heritage, it was reality. From 1942 to 1945, the United States of America imprisoned these individuals, from babies to senior citizens.
But because of efforts by the U.S. military and religious leaders from a number of faiths, some of the young people were able to be released from the prisons to continue their educations. Individuals and organizations within the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) were among those that helped lead in this movement. Antioch College was one of several hundred colleges and universities that offered to educate American citizens with Japanese heritage.
Power Up: Biden s first week embraces executive action on twin crises of coronavirus, economy Jacqueline Alemany
HOW IT STARTED
> HOW IT S GOING: We started the week with a president who, still angry about his election loss and second impeachment, had largely disappeared from public view and all but given up on governing as the country grapples with the coronavirus pandemic and the U.S. economy. We re ending the week with a president who has raced to show the American public that he s fighting the twin crises with the full power of the presidency and the federal government.
The blitz of activity during President Biden s first days comes after months of planning to launch what he called “a wartime undertaking”: With more than 408,000 Americans dead, Biden authorized the use of the Defense Production Act to increase efforts to fight the pandemic and improve vaccine distribution.
