As you may be aware, Green Mountain Power is planning resiliency projects to bury electrical lines and harden overhead lines this Spring/Summer 2026 to help keep customers connected during damaging weather. The work is currently scheduled to start in May and finish in Mid-July. Right now, GMP is planning projects for Moss Hollow, Lucier, and Hamilton Roads.
In addition to the updates published here, they will also be published on the Marlboro Website Home Page (https://marlborovt.us/), the main Marlboro Facebook Page, and on Front Porch Forum.

GMP’s Tim Jones (802-353-0243) and Kristin Carlson (802-229-8200) are available to answer questions about the work, timelines, equipment, aesthetics, etc. and they can visit you at your home. You can call or text Tim and Kristin from GMP, and Nick Morgan, the Marlboro Town Administrator (802-212-9873), can also be reached via text and can act as a conduit to GMP, though reaching out directly to the GMP personnel noted above will yield the fastest and most accurate information.
The benefits of a robust electrical grid for Marlboro are very important and we will do everything in our power to make this process as smooth as possible, and we are working closely with GMP so that you have the information you need.
As you may be aware, the Select Board hosted a meeting with Green Mountain Power to provide access to GMP to ask questions and raise concerns. The video of that meeting is now available for those who missed it on BCTV’s YouTube page, you can use the following link to go directly to the video: https://youtu.be/EtEHpkYFGdw
