Burlington Urban Renewal Saga Reshapes Champlain Street Area
The Champlain Street urban renewal project in Burlington transforms 27 acres with land clearance 1964 to 1973, relocating 214 families and 51 businesses while adding 300 public housing units. Forded by Horizon Inc. then Fidelity Mutual and Mondev Ltd., the plan aims for major office space and a department store, though court battles and hotel planning hiccups frame the effort.
