Two Demolitions Scheduled Next Week in Montpelier

From the Montpelier Board of Works meeting on June 9, 2026

Mayor Nef announced the Robert King house and a property at 441 (street not stated clearly in the meeting) are both scheduled for demolition next week. A separate house was already taken down using PACER grant funds.

The demolitions are part of a broader blight removal effort. The mayor reported 36 properties are currently on a mailing list for code enforcement, and the city attorney is preparing to bring some of the worst cases to court.

The Robert King demolition was previously approved at $8,000, to be performed by Ramsier Excavating. The 441 property was purchased by a neighbor who is remodeling an adjacent property.
