Montpelier has its long-awaited housing blueprint for Country Club Road

MONTPELIER — Four years after buying a 138-acre former golf course to help solve its housing crisis, Montpelier finally has its most detailed development blueprint to date for Country Club Road. Under a non-binding letter of intent approved unanimously by the Montpelier City Council, developer DEW Properties has proposed building an initial 108 housing units on roughly 20 buildable acres along the site’s lower ridge. The agreement represents the most concrete vision produced for the Country Club Road property since city voters authorized its purchase in 2022. “We were just eager to get involved if they wanted us involved,” Robert Wells, development coordinator for DEW Properties, told VTDigger Monday. “So happy that the (selection) process is done now, and we can get started.” Shovels aren’t set to hit dirt until around 2028, though, Wells said.
