Barre City Community Picnic Set for September 1
By CompassVermont.com
Barre’s Chief of Police and Deputy Fire
Chief will operate the grills for Barre City’s
annual Community Picnic on Wednesday,
September 1, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Currier
Park.
If it is anything like last year, the park will
be filled ith hungry residents.
“Last year, just as we got going with a few
people playing Corn Hole, the line formed for
food, and it just kept growing and growing,”
said a Barre City employee. “But we fed them
all!”
The event, food, beverages, and fun are all
free, thanks to local sponsors, and while the
food is alays a hit, its the fire trucks that
steal the show.
he fire trucks line up around the perimeter
of Currier Park, and kids can hop up and
sit in them and honk the horn,” she said. “The
kids have the most fun at the trucks than anywhere
else.”
Folks who attend might also get a chance
to ride on the fire truck ith the lift, although
some restrictions apply.
One Barre City Counselor, who preferred
not to be named, will bring his craft at making
balloon animals and balloon hats for anyone
who would like one. There will be many other
games; many made up on the spot.
he picnic ill also host a raffle of a ne
grill to raise money for Mosaic Vermont.

needs of low-income elderly homeowners
that allow them to age in place. This funding
is part of $30 million being awarded nationally

organizations, state and local governments,
and public housing authorities.
The Cathedral Square Corporation is being

Provided through HUD’s Older Adults
Home Modification Program (OAHMP),
these grants enable low-income elderly persons
to remain in their homes through lowcost,
low barrier, high impact home modifications
to reduce older adults’ risk of falling,
improve general safety, increase accessibility,
and improve their functional abilities in their
home.
These investments will enable older adults
to remain in their homes – to “age in place”
– rather than move to nursing homes or other
assisted care facilities.
Experienced nonprofit organizations, state
and local governments, and public housing
authorities that received funding will deliver
home modification services to more than
5,000 qualified beneficiaries and serve communities
with substantial rural populations.
“Today, we are renewing our commitment
• • •
to improving the lives of older adults,” said
HUD Secretary, Marcia L. Fudge. “The funding
provided today will enable low-income
elderly persons to remain in their homes and
will reduce their risk of falling, improve their
general safety, increase accessibility, and
improve their functional abilities in their
home.”
“There is a strong connection between
health and housing,” said Matthew Ammon,
Director of HUD’s Office of Lead Hazard
Control and Healthy Homes. “These grants
provide a critical resource to communities to
make low-cost, low barrier, high impact home
modifications tailored to the needs of the
residents.”
*The number of units is an estimate, and
subject to availability of funds. Please note
that the maximum amount awarded under the
FY2021 OAHMP NOFA is $1,000,000,
awardees may have received less than their
federal request and may adjust the proposed
number of units during the first 60 days of the
award’s period of performance.
