Salisbury Square Groundbreaking
After years of development, planning, and fundraising, Randolph Area Community Development Corporation (RACDC) hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on October 16, 2024, for the second phase of development at Salisbury Square Village, a Planned Community in downtown Randolph. The ceremony was held at the site, 25 Salisbury Street.
Salisbury Square Village Phase 2 will complete the road and underground infrastructure for the site and add 21 new units: 9 single-family homes affordable to families earning between 80% and 120% of median income (or roughly $76,000-$112,000 for a 4-person household) and 12 one- and two-bedroom affordable rental units for lower income households. The new units will meet Efficiency Vermont’s High Performance 3.0 home standards, be net-zero ready, and feature all-electric heating, cooling, and appliances. Residents will also benefit from rooftop generation and battery storage of solar power. The most unique aspect of the new rental and single-family units will be the DC Microgrid, connecting every unit in the community together with Direct Current wiring, which can function even if the regular power grid goes down. The DC Microgrid, combined with more efficient DC lighting and appliances, will enable the solar power and battery storage to be shared during outages of the regular power grid, providing residents of Salisbury Square Village with more sustainable, resilient, and affordable power.
Phase 2 of this innovative project will begin with the construction of the road and utility infrastructure, as well as construction of the 12 rental units in 3 quadplex buildings, followed by pre-sales and construction of the first 6 homes by as early as mid-2025.
