History of GBCJC

Over the last year and a half, a group of concerned, local citizens formed a steering committee to look into creating a Justice Center in Central Vermont.

In January, 2002 with a planning grant from the AHS, this group talked to a wide range of local, regional and state stakeholders in order to solicit their needs, concerns, existing resources, support, and commitment to participating in a justice partnership.

With this information, the steering committee wrote a grant request and presented it to the Barre City Council in October of 2002 for their approval. So approved, the grant was submitted to the AHS, and the Justice Center received funding in January 2003.

Representatives from Barre business, city government, schools and community form the Citizen Advisory Board and were approved by the City Council in April 2003. An executive director was hired in May, 2003.
