City Lands Federal Money for Hubbard Park Expansion
Montpelier recently received $258,000 in federal funds to expand Hubbard Park. The money from the U.S. Forest Service’s Community Forest Program will be used as a 50-percent match to help purchase additional land bordering the park. Additional funding of $20,000 is being provided by the Montpelier Conservation Fund, as well as $35,000 raised to date from individual donors. The Montpelier Parks Commission, along with partners such as the Trust for Public Land, are working toward a goal for all residents to be able to access greenspace within a 10-minute walk from home.
