8 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 7 track, and so much more. It also allows the city to host larger events and gatherings indoors and on the grounds. They are currently looking into facilitating a re-purpose of the remaining 100 acres and existing facilities into what could be both market and affordable housing. The former campus also includes a myriad of classrooms, dormitories, a large open library space, and a beautiful small theater that are under discussion regarding possible re-use. A private developer, or developers, are currently being sought who could partner with the City to reimaging, and then redevelop, the former campus in what will be a unique and exciting opportunity. Mayor Allaire hopes that in the future the city can attract a hotel to locate downtown so visitors can come by train to Rutland and stay for a while… to enjoy its amenities and the nearby mountains by public transit, or private shuttle, without having to rent a car. Duffy confirms that there are many transformative projects on the go that he expects should be underway or complete in the next few years. Significant projects that will hopefully ensure Rutland attracts new residents, businesses, and national attention. But he knows that the City of Rutland also has the support of current residents. He shares, “It definitely seems like the city is proud of itself and wants to improve. The mayor can talk to that all day. This is a community that really loves Rutland and really wants to see us prosper.” Attorneys at Law Knowledgeable. Dedicated. Responsive. Put our team to work for you.
