I have a LONG history of working with the CSJ property, going back to the 80s. It has always been an Act 250 nightmare there due to the proximity to the creek and there are also significant wetlands about the property. There is also a lot of ledge and bedrock on the property that makes it very costly to bring in utilities (water/sewer) for expansion / development. Unfortunately, the same problems are presenting themselves for the old Rutland Plywood property across the creek, which has put off developers from looking into utilizing that property as well. :(

That was a real shame when the senior housing project fell through. However, I see that Casella has been looking at investing in the property, so we are all keeping our fingers crossed!! :)
