So they want to put it basically across the street from the condos that burned down two years ago. Just a little bit late.

That fire was caused by a bunch of drunks and torched the garage and melted a major support structure. It was amazing the Mountain Green Condos could even be saved. Here is the story:

Fire Damages Vermont Ski Resort

Mountain Ski Resort Scarred by Fire Reopens for Christmas
The Mountain Green Ski & Golf Resort in Killington, Vermont, suffered a devastating fire loss at the end of ski season. The fire began in an underground parking garage, burning so hot that it melted a portion of the structural steel supporting the seven-story condo resort.
Description
As a result of the high-intensity fire, the first floor collapsed two feet and the threat of a total collapse loomed. Damage was in the millions of dollars, and business for the following ski season was threatened if the property could not be repaired in time.
Issues
Could Mountain Green repair the partially collapsed building and be back in business for the next season, or was demolition the only option?
How would Mountain Green handle the interests of the 116 condo owners?
What cleanup and mitigation efforts were covered in the policy?
The elevator system was damaged, but according to the insurance carrier, replacing the elevators was not covered by the policy.
The insurance carrier attempted to classify major damage to the property as pre–existing.
Solutions Applied
Determined to save the building from demolition, Adjusters International located an engineering firm specializing in structural repair to lift and suspend the building, repair the structural steel and the ground floor, and then reattach the building to the foundation. This approach saved money and time — critical for the resort’s reopening.
Adjusters International set up a hotline for the individual condo owners, and also handled the association’s involvement in each owner claim. This streamlined the tenants’ claims processes with their various insurance carriers.

The insurance company was reluctant to pay to clean metal surfaces. Adjusters International argued that, without the cleaning, the stage would be set for the insurance company to later deny coverage for the rusting metal surfaces, using the logic that damage was not mitigated as required.
State officials agreed with Adjusters International’s experts that the elevators would not be safe if repaired. Since the state would not certify the repairs, the insurance company stated this was a codes and ordinance upgrade issue, and thus, not covered by the insurance policy. Adjusters International argued that since no upgraded standard was required, it was not a codes mandate.
Adjusters International proved that cracked tiles throughout the resort were not pre-existing. Since smoke covered all surfaces, and many cracks in the tile were clean and white, and not covered with soot, the cracks had to have occurred at the time of collapse.
Outcome
In a classic case of point/counter-point, Adjusters International executed a well-coordinated plan to resolve disparities throughout the insurance claim process. The resort was successfully re-opened — just nine months later — in time for the next ski season.

Wrong fire GSKI, this condo project that burned a few years back is down closer to Rt 4, just to the east of the Access Road

Not Condo, Timeshare for anyone who cares, on Innsbruck. It was a chimney fire.

Actually for anyone who cares, it was both.

For anyone who cares, the planned project is an absolute necessity. The current building is antiquated, unsafe in some respects, too small for current needs, below code, and sits on property the town doesn't own. Several years of study have concluded that a new public safety building, that is larger and up to date, combining fire, rescue and police, is the best way to solve the problems while also providing for future needs.

....As I recall?...one of the points that some consultant ( Seth Webb era...a fella that convenes consultants to choose his socks...) was that the present building.." wasnt ADA Compliant". Terrific....we all want firefighters with disabilities! "Yer Honor?...I rest my case"...

Just another way for taxpayers to get hit in pocketbook. I would like to know what has changed in fighting fires over the past 30 years.

Size, density and height. The Grand, Killington Mountain Inn, Hillside, Mountain Green, Pinnacle, Highridge.

Correct-a-mundo. Given that K has no hydrant system...and wont likely ever have one?...no new ( pricey) SEVEN BAY firehouse is gonna do anything better than the present facility. KTown will piss thru money faster than most wager earners can earn it...
