The
state has signed an agreement with a central Vermont
developer to build the first privately run rest area on Interstate 89. At
a signing ceremony in Randolph on Wednesday, Gov. Peter Shumlin said the
new center will save the expense of replacing and
maintaining an aging state-run rest area nearby.
Cash-strapped state government has turned to the private
sector to provide relief for weary travelers. The Shumlin Administration hopes a real estate developer
will build a privately-owned rest area off Interstate-89 in Randolph.
