I don't believe it. I stayed in Brattleboro a few months ago, and quaint doesn't begin to describe the town.

Now begs the question, is this an instance where a NIMBY response would not only be condoned but supported? The tallest buildings I remember in town are around 5 floors, with simple brick facades that are common in Northeast villages. Anything they build over 15 floors would look out of place for the foreseeable future. Additionally, I believe there there is enough space across town to break apart the project into multiple buildings, multiple functions, while expanding the amount of street level, mixed use space around downtown.
