tennis and a range of social activities, the Club is an important contributor to what makes Greensboro special. It really is a gem—how lucky we are to have a facility of this quality and beauty so close and accessible during our time in the Northeast Kingdom! Joining Mountain View represents both a terrific recreational and social outlet and a continuing tangible investment in the vitality of the Greensboro community.

Given that we are now nearing the end of the season, the Club is offering to new members who join by December 31 the opportunity to pay the current initiation fee and stock charge ($1,600 in total, plus tax) and have their dues waived for the remainder of 2014 and for all of 2015, not paying any further dues until 2016. The Club will be increasing its dues with effect from January 1, 2015, so the current offering is a particularly good value for new members who want to play a few times in the remaining days of this year, as well as for those who are considering joining next season.

You are invited to apply for membership. Visit the Membership Page to learn more or download the membership application form here: MVCC Application Form . If you have questions, call the Pro Shop at 533-7477 or, when it is closed, try Mike Kreider at 501-226-5682 or at [email protected].

 

DRB rulings set to change parts of Greensboro

/0 Comments/in /by

Two recent DRB decisions and continuing discussions by the Select Board have paved the way for changes to sections of Greensboro Village, Shoreland, and Rural Lands.

First, the DRB gave conditional approval to the Greensboro Arts Alliance and Residency for their construction of the Mirror Theater.   The Theater will be located at the Hazendale Farm corner.    Further information is available on the town website, VPR, and the Burlington Free Press.

Additionally, the Greensboro Grange committee has received approval to renovate the Greensboro Grange building.   A $70,000 initial donation has been made to improve building access, meet fire codes, and install bathrooms.   More information is available here.

Third, the Select Board has been discussing the use of the Willey land purchased with State funding in the 1970’s.   This land is adjacent to the public beach along the shoreland of Caspian Lake, and must be used and available as recreational space.   Many good ideas are being considered.   The current parking adjacent to the Willey land, which was envisioned to be used as village parking originally, must be solely used for the recreational space – it’s size will be reduced from the current 10 spot gravel parking pad to something more in keeping with the recreational land requirements.   This project is ongoing and will require some planning and funding by the town.  Descriptions of the parcel can be found in this recent post.
