## Resource

Montpelier’s local nonprofit just got shut down by the federal government — despite offering the highest bid for the abandoned post office and federal building. The GSA rejected their $540K offer, citing concerns over environmental hazards and flood damage that could cost millions to fix. The nonprofit, which wants to act as a bridge between government sale and future redevelopment, calls the decision a lose-lose move that’s stalling Montpelier’s recovery. They’re planning to bid again — and say the government is ignoring realistic costs and real solutions. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
