Your Select Board and Highway Department understand that this is an inconvenience but greatly appreciates your patience while these devices to control speeds through the Town Center are put in place.

Please note that access to the Town Center (office, post office, & community center) will be available from Route 9 via Town Hill Road (just West of the Highway Garage).  For your convenience, a detour road map is linked below to assist you in planning your route should you need to get to the Town Center or just get to Route 9 to head in either direction.  This map will also be posted outside the Town Office, and hard copies will also be available in the Office. Click on the following link to access the DETOUR MAP:

For these three days please plan accordingly, as travel times may be a little longer due to the detours.  Also, if you are expecting or need to have crucial deliveries that may be impacted by this closure, please contact your supplier and/or shipper and either advise them of the detours or schedule the delivery to not fall on these days.

As noted above, arrangements have been made for emergency vehicles (and other personnel such as visiting nurse services) and they will have full access to South Road through the Town Center should it be necessary.

Thank you, and again, we greatly appreciate your patience regarding this road work.

Your Marlboro Select Board & Marlboro Highway Department.

As you may be aware, Green Mountain Power is planning resiliency projects to bury electrical lines and harden overhead lines this Spring/Summer 2026 to help keep customers connected during damaging weather.  The work is currently scheduled to start in May and finish in Mid-July. Right now, GMP is planning projects for Moss Hollow, Lucier, and Hamilton Roads.

GMP team members attended a recent meeting with residents and some Town officials to answer questions about the project, including how they will be providing updates on work schedules and locations, maintaining road access for residents and emergency crews during the projects, and how they will handle specific questions about equipment and aesthetics along the routes where they are doing this work. 

Some key information to know:

• Regular updates on project work schedules and locations will be provided to the Town by GMP on a weekly basis.
• In addition, there will be updates as needed during the week. GMP will be working with the Town Administrator who will publish these updates on the Town Website (below), Marlboro Facebook, and Front Porch Forum as received by the Town Administrator.  This schedule will also be available on the Town Bulletin Board as well as hard copies in the Town Office.  Please monitor these sources of information.  
• GMP personnel Tim Jones (802-353-0243) and Kristin Carlson (802-229-8200) are available for questions about the work, timelines, equipment, aesthetics, etc. and can visit you at your home.  You can call or text Tim and Kristin from GMP, Nick Morgan, the Marlboro Town Administrator (802-212-9873), can also be reached via text and can act as a conduit to GMP, though reaching out directly to the GMP personnel noted above will yield the fastest and most accurate information.

The benefits of a robust electrical grid for Marlboro are very important and we will do everything in our power to make this process as smooth as possible, and we are working closely with GMP so that you have the information you need. 

Thank you very much – Your Marlboro Select Board (Molly Welch, Jeff Skramstad, Kate Kirkwood).

As you may be aware, the Select Board hosted a meeting with Green Mountain Power to provide access to GMP to ask questions and raise concerns.
