The Catalyst for the City of Vergennes Revitalization
“We’re just so happy that the board has been able to improve the Opera House so much. It has been a catalyst for the whole city. I know that years ago, before the opera house and downtown renovations were accomplished we’d hear stories of people having to move to town for work in the area and being in tears because it was so depressing. Now it is just absolutely fabulous with the flowers, the opera house and all the storefronts being filled. So we’re very proud to be part of the Opera House.”
