Summary
Sterling College’s future hangs in the balance as bids close July 20th — but a local group wants to keep the campus alive through housing, childcare, and farming. Their offer fell short, forcing the college board to open the property to all comers. Across Vermont, shuttered campuses face uncertain futures: some eyed for luxury resorts or sold amid tax drama, others repurposed into housing, arts spaces, or public facilities. The Headwaters Land Trust fears the open auction will dilute community priorities, especially since Craftsbury rallied behind the college’s closure. The fate of these once-vital hubs may take years to settle — but their stories reveal how towns grapple with loss and reinvention.
