BARRE — Fine meat producer Vermont Salumi will open a facility in the former Homer Fitts building in downtown Barre. Company owner Peter Roscini Colman said the move will relocate production from Plainfield to Barre. Last week, the Barre Town Select Board heard from Barre Area Development Corp. Executive Director Joel Schwartz, who told members the company has outgrown its current facility. Schwartz asked the board to sign off on a $180,000 loan to renovate the building and purchase equipment. The seven-year loan, at 6.3 percent interest, includes $50,000 from the town’s revolving loan fund and the remainder from the Vermont Community Loan Fund. READ MORE.
