With renewed Town commitment to these assets, planning for their continued presence is underway.<\/p>\n<p>A small grant from Kingdom Trails Association helped paint Schoolhouse Bridge in June 2022 and installed interpretive signs at Sanborn and Schoolhouse. An Animating Infrastructure Grant through the Vermont Arts Council was awarded for a sculptural installation at Sanborn Bridge by October 2023. The sculpture project is also supported by Vermont Community Foundation and Vermont Humanities.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest news is the acquisition of Sanborn Bridge by the Town of Lyndon and the seeking of funds for its revitalization. The restoration of this Paddleford Truss bridge is a $1.5M project. Preservation Trust of Vermont has seeded the project by awarding Sanborn CB a 2022 Bruhn Revitalization Grant of $100,000. Additional grant funding has been awarded by Vermont Housing &amp; Conservation Board, USDA Rural Development, Northern Borders Regional Commission, The Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, and The Freeman Foundation and VTrans Transportation Alternatives Program. The Town will continue to seek grant funding for the project.<\/p>\n<p>The Town has a contract with Dubois &amp; King to conduct the required engineering for the bridge. Phase 1 of engineering should be complete by December 2023. Phase 2 will begin in January 2024.<\/p>\n<p>This project requires several reviews and permits. With the support of many, this part of the project will be wrapped up by the end of 2023, too.<\/p>\n<p>Construction is tenatively planned for the late fall of 2024 into the winter, barring any complications with permitting, engineering, or funding.<\/p>\n<p>Late Summer\/Fall of 2025 is the tenative completion date.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.lyndonvt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Sanborn_Report_condensed.pdf&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Jan Lewandoski Preliminary Assessment (2021)&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; min_height=&#8221;1275.3px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-35px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;11px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; min_height=&#8221;1032.3px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||39px|||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_cta title=&#8221;Gratitude to: &#8221; button_text=&#8221;Click Here&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#628bc1&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"et_pb_module_header\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Many thanks to our donors of the capital campaign!<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Supporters of the Bridge: giving of $1000-$4,999<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Century 21<\/p>\n<p>Passumpsic Bank<\/p>\n<p>Vermont Covered Bridges Society<\/p>\n<p>Carmen\u2019s Ice Cream, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>Steve &amp; Marty Feltus<\/p>\n<p>Lyndon Woodworking<\/p>\n<p>BJB Properties, LLC<\/p>\n<p>Jason Smith of Sheffield, VT<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefactors of the Bridge: giving of $5,000-$9,999<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Union Bank<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sustainers of the Bridge: giving of $10,000+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vanguard Charitable in honor of Sarah Lafferty<\/p>\n<p>The White Market<\/p>\n<p>Community National Bank<\/p>\n<p>Anonymous<\/p>\n<p>Lyndon Chamber of Commerce<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legacy Giving for the Bridge: giving of $50,000+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Barbara Allen Norris, former owner of Bag Balm<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Capital Campaign Success!&#8221; image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.lyndonvt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Bag_balm_thankyou.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; image_max_width=&#8221;82%&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">We did it!
