DEW Purchases and Upgrades Ottauquechee Health Center Building
Woodstock, VT – The greater Woodstock community has a rich history of receiving necessary health care services from the Ottauquechee Health Center, which is operated by Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center. This Ottauquechee Health Center building was sold last month. The former owner of the building itself was the Ottauquechee Health Foundation, whose mission is to promote and support programs that identify and help meet the health care needs of Woodstock and the surrounding communities through grants, funding and support. Liza Deignan, President of the Ottauquechee Health Foundation, states, “The sale of the building enables necessary health care services to remain in the Woodstock Community for generations to come, and also, provides the Foundation with a greater opportunity to focus on its mission to meet community health care needs through grants and funding.” The existing Ottauquechee Health Center building was designed in the early 1970’s for health care delivery, as was appropriate at the time. Unfortunately the building today does not meet modern healthcare standards including privacy requirements or appropriate patient flow for primary or specialty care. Likewise, the building is not energy efficient and is in need of major renovations such as replacement of the windows, replacement of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, and upgrades to room design to meet American with Disability Act requirements and patient need. To address these issues, the Ottauquechee Health Foundation has sold […]

DEW Breaks Ground on Barre City Place
Barre, Vt. – DEW Construction Corp. recently broke ground on Barre City Place, kicking off the start of what some say is the next stage of the city’s remarkable renaissance. Barre City Place will be a four-story, 80,000-square-foot mixed-use building on Main Street in downtown Barre. DEW Properties, LLC will own the building and is the lead developer on the project. A subsidiary of the company, DEW Barre City Place, LLC, will maintain the property. Many local dignitaries attended the groundbreaking ceremony on January 30, including Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin, Barre Mayor Thom Lauzon, and City Manager Steven Mackenzie. Governor Shumlin said Barre City Place is a model for future city renovation projects across the country. Barre City Place has pre-construction commitments from major tenants. The RehabGYM, a physical rehabilitation facility, will occupy part of the first floor. Vermont’s Department of Education and its nearly 200 employees will occupy the building’s top floor. Fifty employees of the Agency of Human Services will split the second and third floors with Central Vermont Medical Center, which will have administrative offices for approximately 45 employees. DEW’s president Don Wells says he is hopeful a push to create a cooperatively owned grocery store will be successful and occupy space on the first floor.
