BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) - Plans to tear down a former automotive building in Vermont to make way for a performance space for a circus group have been delayed after more contaminants have been found at the site.
The New England Youth Theater wants to demolish the former Tri-State Automotive building to create a trapeze center for the New England Center for Circus Arts. Project manager Bari Shamas said environmental consultants' discovery of PCBs in the soil and a $200,000 price tag increase have caused delays in the project.
The Brattleboro Reformer reports the total cost of the project has increased from about $1.2 million to $1.65 million to remove the building and cap the site. That doesn't include building the new center.
