| Wilton board to review business plans
WILTON - New and expanding businesses are on the agenda when the Planning Board meets at 7 p.m. Thursday at the town office.
A new modular and mobile home sales lot is being proposed by Dale Leighton and Marty Pike from Farmington. The lot, to be located at 409 Route 2 East across from the Big Apple, is at the site where a mobile home sales lot was located a few years ago.
The new business, Sandy River Homes, will offer KBS Modular Homes from Paris, said Pike, and mobile homes by a new company, Eagle River.
The business hopes to be open by the first of June, Pike said. One part-time position in sales is expected, he said. The company will work with local contractors for setting up the homes.
Using a modular home for an office as part of the five display sites, the proposal also includes space for displaying three 28- by 40-foot modular homes and one 16- by 72-foot home.
Neither Washington Nor Stowe: Common Sense For The Working Vermonter
To set things right we cannot count on the system defined by the General Assembly in Montpelier or the law makers in Washington DC. These folks have had over 200 years to set things right and they haven't. Rather we must come to rely on ourselves, our neighbors, and our communities to come up with the answers. And here we must be prepared to look at the root of the problems that face us, and dare to envision a future Vermont where we the people are truly in control of society. Did not the Green Mountain Boys fight for just that? This document, first published in 2004, is an attempt to articulate what a better, freer, more just Vermont would look like and how we can get there. So keep an open mind, read it over, than lets see what we can do to set things straight. -The Green Mountain Collective, Spring 2007 Note On The Fourth Revised Edition This fourth edition of Neither Washington Nor Stowe has been greatly expanded and revised.
Digging in for green energy
Villagers in north Oxfordshire will be among the first in the county to have heating and hot water provided using energy from the Earth. Engineers are digging 70m-deep boreholes in Weston-on-the-Green for ground source heat pump systems. The technology is being installed at 13 Airey-type prefabricated homes in Weston-on-the-Green, Shipton-on-Cherwell and Launton, near Bicester, by Charter Community Housing and energy firm Powergen. .
