Senator Patrick Leahy led a September 3 ground breaking ceremony to mark the start of the reconstruction of a key property in downtown Springfield.
Housing Vermont and an affiliate of the Springfield Housing Authority have partnered to redevelop Main Street’s historic Ellis Block which was destroyed by a devastating fire on July 8, 2008. The renovated building will include a 3-screen movie theatre and nine affordable apartments.
“This project is an outstanding example of how federal funds can be used to respond to key community needs,” said Housing Vermont President Nancy Owens. “We appreciate Senator Leahy’s leadership in ensuring that the Neighborhood Stabilization Program worked well in Vermont,” Owens said.

“One of our major goals was to minimize future energy costs,” said Housing Vermont Vice President Kenn Sassorossi. “We also wanted to use regional renewable resources. Using wood pellets to provide heat and hot water allows us to do both,” Sassorossi said.
