Group to transform Starksboro building into a Vermont music archive

The Addison County Independent reports that the Big Heavy World Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and promoting Vermont-made music, plans to revitalize the site of a former creamery in Starksboro by building a library that houses Vermont music of all types. Recently, Saputo, a Montreal-based dairy company, donated the Green Mountain Cold Springs Creamery property to the Foundation. The Foundation plans to build a modern facility on the property including "a climate-controlled archive for the organization’s library of more than 3,000 recordings." Construction may begin as early as 2009 and will likely take "several years" to complete.
