Court overrules Newbury DRB’s detention center denial

NEWBURY—Efforts by Newbury residents to keep a proposed juvenile detention center out of town were dealt a blow last week.
Superior Court Judge Thomas G. Walsh of Vermont’s Environmental Court overturned the Newbury Development Review Board’s decision to deny a development permit for Vermont Permanency Initiative, a Becket Family of Services subsidiary, to establish the Covered Bridge secure residential treatment center for justice-involved boys at former bed and breakfast on rural Stevens Place.
