The project will preserve and renovate the historic Yellow Barn and construct a new building next door with two anchor tenants: the Hardwick-based nonprofit Center for an Agricultural Economy (CAE) and Greensboro cheesemaker, the Cellars at Jasper Hill.
Evernorth Rural Ventures and Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation (MHIC) announced the closing of $11.4 million in New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) allocation for the redevelopment of the “Yellow Barn” in Hardwick, Vt.
The project will preserve and renovate the historic Yellow Barn and construct a new building next door with two anchor tenants: the Hardwick-based nonprofit Center for an Agricultural Economy (CAE) and Greensboro cheesemaker, the Cellars at Jasper Hill. CAE will operate a community cold storage for local farmers and food producers, while scaling up Farm Connex, a delivery service for small and medium farms and food businesses that would otherwise not have a way to get their products to market.
