SPRINGFIELD — The Southern Vermont Recreation Center Foundation is bringing aspects of a Vermont tradition to the renovation process.
“It’s really like a barn raising,” said Phil Drinker of Springfield as he takes a break from cutting hemlock logs into 18-foot beams.
He is referring to the tag-team volunteerism that will put close to 100 beams in the roof of the foundry building to replace those that have rotted.
The renovation of the historic foundry building is the third phase of the recreation center project, which will feature an elevated walking track and gymnasium.
Most of the focus now is on the first phase of the project, completing the construction of the swim center before the Dec. 31 deadline.
