WGDR’s future on Goddard campus.
You may have heard the news of Goddard College closing and looking to
sell its campus. We want listeners to rest assured, we are not in danger of
needing to move right now.
Central Vermont Community Radio is an asset to the community and as a
renter on campus to any future owner. No matter what the future of campus
holds, we look forward to remaining a strong partner with whoever owns or
manages the Pratt building where we have been located for 51 years.
Goddard College gave us a generous lease for five years (2022-2027), of which we are
now in year two. They recognized that our success as a brand-new
nonprofit hinged on keeping expenses low for our first few years and we
are forever grateful for their thoughtfulness for our lease, but also for their
gift of the entire station to the community.
We want to assure supporters, listeners, and the larger community that the
station’s current arrangement has us where we are until at least 2027.
That said, moving a station of our size, age, and status as a brand-new nonprofit would be a significant undertaking. If you are interested in learning more about our planning process for what may come next, please reach out to Station Manager, Llu Mulvaney-Stanak: Llu@WGDR.org.
