POUTLNEY, Vt. (AP) - Officials from Green Mountain College and the Vermont town that hosts its campus are planning to get together to ponder what to do after the school closes down later this year.
The meeting is scheduled for March 7 on the Green Mountain College campus in Poultney.
The Rutland Herald reports that Paul Costello of the Vermont Council on Rural Development says no one knows what will help lift the town out of the gap left by the loss of the school, the community’s main economic driver, and the 150 staff and faculty positions that came with it.
Green Mountain College announced earlier this year that the school would be closing its doors in May. The college cited declining enrollment as the main reason for the closing.
