BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Museum and Art Center will be increasing the green space between its front lawn and existing green space at the Marlboro College Graduate Center by reconfiguring the museum's parking lot.
BMAC director Danny Lichtenfeld presented the plan to the Selectboard on Sept. 7 as part of the permitting process.
“It will be a nice addition to downtown,” Lichtenfeld said.
The current parking lot, he said, is three cars deep. The project will take the “back half” of the lot nearest the building. Some parking space will be lost, but the functionality will increase.
The new green space will, in part, be used as a place to display sculptures and for patrons to relax.
Lichtenfeld said fundraising has started for the project in honor of Linda Rubinstein and Dan Freed, husband to board member Judy Freed.
