On behalf of the Bellows Falls local government and the Bellows Falls Downtown Development Alliance, I am seeking a meeting with Governor Peter Shumlin and other interested parties to discuss the future of the Vilas Bridge.
At a minimum, for this discussion, in addition to Bellows Falls municipal officials, it would be important to have the legislative transportation committee chairs and the secretary of the Agency of Transportation present. We would be available to meet in Montpelier or at any other time or location when officials might be in southern Vermont.
Realizing that the bridge is controlled by the state of New Hampshire, it will be important going forward to arrange joint meetings to discuss the status and future of this project.
