From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 meeting, the Julian Scott House Task Force discussed the FEMA buyout for the Julian Scott House and the town's plan to keep the building. Stephanie Smith of Vermont Emergency Management said the only options were to proceed with demolition as agreed or withdraw the grant and return all funding. The town planned to ask for an extension through July 2029 while it sought money to unwind the grant and deed restriction.
Decision state: discussed, with the extension request still open.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
