POWNAL, Vt. — The planned auction of the former Green Mountain Race Track property has been postponed to February.

 

A representative from Landmark Auction Co. was on site Wednesday morning to notify anyone who missed the notice on the company's website that the sale had been moved to Feb. 25 at 11 a.m.

 

The 145-acre property on Route 7 just north of Williamstown currently is under a mortgage held by Bayview Loan Servicing of the state of Florida.

 

The property includes the hulking, dilapidated former race track grandstand, which has not been a site of racing since Green Mountain closed in 1992.

 

In 2020, a fire that officials deemed suspicious caused extensive damage to the abandoned 64,000-square-foot structure.
