Thank you everyone for your patience during the Maple Street road closure on Monday and Tuesday! We know this is much-used thoroughfare in town.

The water and sewer upgrades are an important first step in building more workforce housing in Brattleboro. The full vision of The Village at Winston Prouty will take the community's support to become a reality, and we appreciate everyone's understanding and encouragement along the way!

Thank you everyone who came out on Friday to the 2nd annual Prouty Presents: Outdoor Movie Night! This year's movie choice, The Goonies (1985), was a nostalgic favorite and drew in new faces who saw our flyers around town.

Thanks to our amazing sponsors, we were able to present this cozy community event free of charge while still raising funds for our mission. Visitors also generously supported us by buying cookies, popcorn, and raffle tickets.

We raised $4,601 towards our annual fund to provide inclusive education and family support. Thank you!

Reminder that Maple Street will be closed today and tomorrow between Austine Drive and the I-91 underpass.

⚠️ The Town of Brattleboro would like to inform the public of a temporary closure of Maple Street to accommodate private utility work associated with a development project in the area. Maple Street will be closed between the I-91 overpass and the intersection of Maple Street and Austine Drive on Monday, August 24, and Tuesday, August 25, 2026.

The anticipated schedule is as follows:

🚧 Monday, August 24: Maple Street will be fully closed within the work area beginning at 8:30 a.m. and will reopen to normal traffic no later than 8 p.m.

🚧 Tuesday, August 25: Maple Street will be fully closed within the work area beginning at 8:30 a.m. and will reopen to normal traffic no later than 8 p.m.

➡️ During the full closures, traffic will not be able to travel through the work area between the I-91 overpass and Austine Drive. Properties and streets east of the closure area will need to be accessed from the Canal Street side, while properties and streets west of the closure area will need to be accessed from the Western Avenue side.

Motorists should anticipate delays and are encouraged to use alternate routes when possible. Drivers should use caution, follow all posted traffic-control signage, and obey directions from flaggers and construction personnel.

Any work occurring after August 25 is expected to be completed under alternating one-lane traffic, and no additional full road closures are currently anticipated.

The Town appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation while this work is completed. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Department of Public Works at 802-254-4255 or email Darren Pacheco at [email protected].

Mmmm these cookies smell incredibly delicious...

We're getting ready for you TONIGHT! We're showing The Goonies, a beloved nostalgic adventure film, starting at 7:45pm. Bring blankets or chairs to sit on!

Fun fact: The Goonies actually contains a few noticeable editing and acting mistakes. At the end of the movie, one of the characters recalling their adventure says, "The octopus was very scary." But there's actually no octopus in the movie: the actor is referencing a deleted scene! This line was left in there but the scene of them fighting an octopus was cut from the final film. Come see what other quirks you can notice about this movie on the big screen!
