Village to tear down carriage barn

BELLOWS FALLS — The Bellows Falls Village Corporation has contracted with Hodgkins and Sons for the demolition and cleanup of the carriage barn building at 35 Front Street.

The building will be removed and the site graded and leveled. It is anticipated that this work will start on Monday, June 15.

The work will require the closure of the north end of Front Street. This will affect both vehicular traffic and pedestrians, as the area will be closed to all types of traffic until the job is complete.

The road closure is necessary to protect public safety. No one will be able to drive or walk through the demolition area.

The building is being removed per order of the Bellows Falls Village Board of Trustees under the Unsafe Building Ordinance. Inspection by a structural engineer was done and the building was determined to be a hazard.
