Grange Hall FOYER WALL CONSTRUCTION

February 23, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
  • « MAIN HALL “VT Fiddle Orchestra”
  • MAIN HALL “Afro-Caribbean Drum & Dance” »

Wheelchair lift:  We expect the installation of the platform/wheelchair lift to be mostly complete by around February 17th.

For the last few weeks of February, Stan will be working on replacement of the original walls and double-doors separating the Old Entrance Foyer from the Main Hall, with a “fire-rated” wall and fire-rated double doors, as required by the Fire Marshal.

No new rentals will be taken during the construction period, between 8 AM and 5 PM Monday to Friday, for safety and comfort reasons.  Stan will be leaving the worksite in safe condition at the end of each workday, so that evening and weekend events should be able to happen as usual.

This project is 50% funded, as part of the wheelchair lift “Project Uplift”, by a grant from the VT Arts Council’s “Facilities Improvement” grant program.   The balance of the funding comes from donations from Grange Hall users and Grange supporters!   We thank every one who has contributed money and time to make this project happen!   Fundraising, planning and project management are provide by the Friends of the Capital City Grange Hall, a 501(c)(3) non-profit.  To learn more about the FCCGH, and to donate to them, please click the “Support the Hall” page on this website!

Contributions to the FCCGH are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by the law.

The new wall will also include a storage closet for the tables we’ve been storing in the foyer, plus traffic cones and other items, as the Fire Marshal will not allow storage of any loose items at all in the foyer (no trash or recycling containers, no snow shovels, no brooms).  Below is a plan section of the new wall arrangement.  Please contact Grange President Tim Swartz for any questions:  swartztim15@gmail.com.

We will not be scheduling any new rentals during the construction period–Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM through March 3rd.

We will have a celebration on Sunday, March 5th to officially “Open” the lift, with fresh-baked cookies, ribbon cutting, ceremonial “first rides”, info tables from Grange Hall users and other local organizations, and a Community Dance, with live music by the VT Fiddle Orchestra, and dances for all ages called by Luke Donforth!   Please join us, 2:00 to 5:00 PM on March 5!
