GSA Rejects Nonprofit’s Post Office Bid | Montpelier News

A nonprofit coalition thought they’d scored a major win by bidding $540,000 for Montpelier’s historic State Street post office — but the GSA rejected their bid, calling it a “lose-lose” scenario that delays redevelopment and costs taxpayers more. The building’s haunted by PCB contamination and flood zone risks, making cleanup and renovation costly. Despite being 10K over minimum and having a solid plan backed by community ties, the group calls the process “tortured” — but vows to keep fighting to turn this downtown anchor into a thriving asset.
