The Northern Borders Regional Commission has awarded us a $390,000 Catalyst Grant to complete Phase 3 of the Grange Hall revitalization. The funds for NBRC programs are available thanks to the support of the Congressional Delegations of all four NBRC states: Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont.

The Norwich Grange Hall project was recently awarded $177,500 in tax credits from Vermont's Downtown and Village Center Tax Credit Program to restore and renovate Norwich’s historic 1892 Grange Hall as a multi-purpose community center. State tax credits will support code upgrades, including a significant water line expansion for the sprinkler system and accessibility upgrades including LULA elevator. Much of this funding will be used in the third phase of the project which is to build a small 2-story addition in place of the back ell to accommodate ADA bathrooms and the elevator. This phase is expected to begin in fall, 2026.

We have received a grant from the Johanna Favrot Fund for Historic Preservation of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. This grant supports the restoration of the Grange Hall’s historic windows.

We kicked off the community phase of our fundraising with a big party at King Arthur Flour. King Arthur had a big announcement!
