MONTPELIER, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) - The City of Montpelier is planning to sell 20 acres of land to an interested developer, and the price is just $1.

Montpelier officials Monday put out a Request for Qualifications, or RFQ, asking for developers interested in building as many as 300 new homes in the southeast corner of the city near Country Club Road.

The Elks Club Golf Course closed in 2020, and the City of Montpelier acquired the entire 133-acre property for $3 million in 2022.

The area has become a popular spot for locals to take their dogs, and a few are even hunting in the area. At a meeting earlier this month, the City Council discussed how to balance recreation with safety at the children's center that has begun leasing the old Elks clubhouse, as previously covered by ABC22/FOX44.
