The goal of this event is to bring as many new home resources as we can into one room, so that anyone interested in building a house in Central Vermont has access to all the resources we know of. This event is being organized by the East Village Expansion Advisory Committee of Plainfield, with the hope that if the project proceeds, potential buyers will be ideally situated to build a home, and we wanted to offer the same resources to anyone interested in building in Vermont!
