A multimillion dollar factory in Barre Town that will produce components for electric and hybrid cars and a blighted public housing project in Rutland were among the winners of $3.6 million in grants awarded by the state of Vermont Wednesday. At a ceremony at the Forest Park housing complex, which is receiving $750,000 for rehabilitation, Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie announced Vermont Community Development Program grants to 10 Vermont communities.
Projects like this will help Vermont emerge from the current national economic challenge with a stronger and more resilient economy, and with improved infrastructure and housing, Dubie said.
