Vermont Public Radio: putney general store
These were some of the voices in this week's news
Putney is celebrating the start of reconstruction on its general store. Townspeople pulled together to rebuild after it was damaged by fire in 2008. Only a year later, a second fire set by an arsonist destroyed the store.
Residents of Putney say their twice-burned general store will rise again from the ashes. Construction of a new store - made of local timber - is expected to begin this summer. The big question now is: Who will be behind the counter?
After enduring two fires, the Putney General Store might re-open. On Monday night, the Putney Historical Society will host a community gathering to update the status of a rebuilding project being planned for the site where the store - a community fixture since the 19th century - once stood.
