North End Recovery & Resiliency
Survey is Live!
Barre Community: We need your Input!
The City of Barre seeks input from community members - especially folks in the flood-impacted areas in the North End of the city – with an invitation to reflect and create a workable vision for our North End neighborhoods. Residents are encouraged to share their experience as well as hopes for the future of the city and its flood impacted neighborhoods. Feedback received will help the City Council, Manager and staff create a cohesive plan that will bring Barre into a future that envisions safe housing with active and attractive flood mitigation.
THANK YOU to the folks who came out to the Old Labor Hall to speak about the North End Neighborhood and its future. If you weren't able to be there, we still have 3 smaller meetings in each ward coming up:
Wednesday, January 24: Ward 2 at Brook Street School, 45 Brook Street 5pm-6:30pm

Monday, January 29: Ward 3 at the Mutuo Soccorso, 20 Beckley Street 5pm-6:30pm
Please take this North End Neighborhood Survey. We want to hear from you whether you live in the neighborhood, or not. We're Barre, and this is about all of us!

These meetings are designed to get input from the residents of Barre to inform the City Council and future work. When a plan is developed, we will seek funding to implement it.
Photo at right was taken in August 1942 of boys that lived in the duplexes on Willey Street. The boys built their very own granite plant with an operating overhead bridge crane. The boys were born in Vermont to immigrant families from Italy, Spain, and Quebec. Their fathers worked in the granite plants that surrounded their North Barre neighborhood.
