Harbor Place will become residential village
Safe!
Nearly 100 affordable units will be built COREY MCDONALD STAFF WRITER
antine restrictions became too onerous and expensive for organizers. Last year, the market spent some of its time at a field adjacent to Palmer’s Sugarhouse to meet stringent pandemic regulations. “That was very successful, people loved it there,” said Rosalyn Graham, president of the Shelburne Business and Professional Association, which sponsors and organizes the market each year. “But there’s also no question that the Parade Grounds is where people feel it should be.” It returned to the center of the village in July of last year and is set to remain there for
The Shelburne Development Review Board last week approved plans from the Champlain Housing Trust to renovate the Harbor Place motel into a residential village with nearly 100 affordable rental and homeowner units. Under the redevelopment plan, the entire Harbor Place property, located at 3156 Shelburne Road, would be renovated to create 94 long-term affordable rental and owner-occupied units, “with open space, a playground and community gardens,” Champlain Housing Trust CEO Michael Monte said. Rents would be affordable to a range of incomes, from 30 percent to 80 percent of area median income, he said. Median household income for Shelburne is $91,953, according to the 2020 census, meaning an individual earning anywhere from roughly $27,000 to $73,000 would be eligible. Pricing for the homeownership units have not been set but will be “generally affordable up to 100 percent of median income,” Monte said. “We are grateful for the support we have received from the people of Shelburne. We need to continue to make progress in creating affordable apartments and home ownership for all of our citizens.” The new mixed tenancy neighborhood will be named Bay Ridge and will include 68 apartments and 26 shared-equity condo units,

Farmers Market returns for 15th season 50-plus vendors sign up to hawk their wares at Shelburne’s Parade Grounds COREY MCDONALD STAFF WRITER
It was Sarah Stillman’s first year as a vendor at the Shelburne Farmers Market last year, selling herbal body care products through her company, Bear Moon Botanical. She loved it so much she’s now running the whole thing. In her first year as manager of the market, she’ll oversee 39 permanent vendors and 15 part-timers selling produce and vegetables, food products, health care products, as well as crafts and other miscellaneous products. “It’s amazing and cooperative — and a really charming little market,” she said. “It
will be very full this year.” The farmers market, a summer staple in Shelburne, will mark its return for the season on Saturday, May 28, beginning its stay at the town’s Parade Grounds — located in the heart of Shelburne village — through Oct. 15. It will run every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Founded in 2006, the market is quickly closing in on its 20th year anniversary as both a neighborhood gathering place and a tourist attraction. The opening date will mark a return to normal of sorts. The market was upended by COVID-19 — like everything else — and went on a hiatus in summer 2020 when quar-
