Property Highlights

The existing, partially-occupied building is strategically located in a mixed-use, multi-story office/industrial complex, consisting of approximately 55,000 square feet of office space and approximately 200,000 square feet of industrial space. The property fronts the Black River to the east and Pearl Street to the west. A metal-truss foot bridge, which crosses over the Black River, permits easy access by pedestrian traffic to the partially-occupied building from River Street. Revitalizing this historic river front complex, located within the Town�s Designated Downtown area, while retaining its vintage charm and appeal, will permit state-of-the-art technology and unlimited capabilities for existing and future tenants and add to the economic base of the Precision Valley. Redevelopment of this property includes renovating the historic office building into office space for professional or medical use, and other buildings will be renovated for mixed use, including light industrial, commercial, and/or high-technology applications. Active negotiations are underway for a variety of leases for this project, including those listed above. The office component of this project is expected to house and employ many medical specialties to better serve the neighboring communities. The office component will serve as an anchor for the site, acting to draw people to the complex that will stay for other reasons. Employment opportunities for approximately 60 to 70 staff are anticipated, excluding personnel needed for secondary services. Simultaneously, the developer is negotiating an additional 40,000 square feet of space for industrial use to permit manufacturing of high technology equipment for both automotive and military applications. The future re-development of the building's shell will require installation of insulated flat roofs, replacement of existing factory windows to include insulated glazing, and installation of energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. Re-engineering will include the removal of approximately 57,000 square feet of existing deteriorated wood structures to allow for additional on-site parking, sidewalks, site lighting, and landscaping green space. The developer has confirmed that the Historic Register mandates historic review prior to modification of the building's structure and/or fa�e. Therefore, the applicant has been meeting with, and will be working directly with the Vermont Division of Historic Preservation and the Preservation Trust in Washington, D.C. to ensure compliance with pertinent historical rehabilitation guidelines. Environmental challenges have been identified for the site, and the proposed redevelopment will consider these challenges during implementation. As an example, site soil that is contaminated with oil will be removed to the extent practicable during site work activity or use limitations will be implemented to minimize health risks for areas where complete hazard removal is not feasible. This building is unique in that it contains a green-energy component. While an existing 100 KW hydro-electric generating station is not currently contributing to the power grid, re-development plans include upgrading the turbine equipment to provide a source of energy with zero carbon emissions. The future developer is entering into leases with a minimum term of five years with tenants. The projected improvement costs, including site work and rehabilitation of the remaining building for tenant use, is estimated at 6.5 million. As of 3/6/09 all asbestos abatement has been completed on the property. A draft CAP was completed on 3/17/09 and awaiting TSCA approval for PCB 761.61 c risk-based management plan for rest of site. 3/30/09 final approval from TSCA to go ahead with 761.61 c plan for approximately 60,000 s.f. of commercial space for tenant occupancy on 6/1/09. Jobs will be added to ACRES. On March 31, 2009, TSCA issued an approval for a Risk-Based Cleanup in Building B and the Northern Loading Dock
