This year the City is working on the design to connect the park to Market Street and Garden Street, this will integrate City Center Park and the stormwater area into one continuous recreation area. City Council will be considering a ballot item on this connection this winter.
Phase I of Garden Street has been approved for funding through Tax Increment Financing. When completed, residents and visitors will be able to drive, bike or walk straight from Healthy Living to Al’s French Fries.
On the private development side, a second building on Garden Street, Dover Place, with 43-unit affordable homes opened winter 2021/2022. This brings the total new affordable units in City Center to 140! Union Place (61 market rate apartments) at the corner of Market Street and Garden Street is now in construction and will be prioritized for UVM Medical Center employees.

We Work to Keep Your Water Clean
Formed in 2005, our stormwater utility maintains and improves the City's stormwater infrastructure. This includes management of water that runs off rooftops, paved and gravel roads, driveways, parking lots, and other hard services after a rain storm. This summer, there are several projects under construction to improve the current infrastructure, ultimately improving the water quality of the streams and Lake Champlain.
Your Team Keeping You Safe
The City's Public Safety team includes the police, fire & EMS, and public works departments. These men and women work around the clock to keep our community safe—whether that be clear plowed roads, emergency medical services, traffic control, or fire prevention.
Allard Square
Allard Square, located on Market Street is one of the new projects that was complete in 2018. This is an affordable housing community for seniors. There are 39 apartments located at Allard Square and 25 of the apartments are subsidized so renters only pay approximately 30% of their income.
To learn more about new projects please contact the Planning and Zoning office.
Our Parks and Natural Areas
Within the City, there are city parks, community parks, and natural areas. Along with these designated public spaces, recreation trails and paths run throughout the City.
