Pursuant to the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, or IIJA, the U. S. General Services Administration is planning to modernize the LPOE in Richford, VT.
The Richford LPOE modernization will improve the efficiency of inspections, traffic flow, and security, facilitating trade and travel in the region in support of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP mission. The Richford LPOE modernization project is underway and is estimated to be complete in the winter of 2028.
The U.S. Border Inspection Station in Richford, VT was built to address the needs identified in the 1920s for ports of entry into the United States due to increasing automobile traffic, concerns about cross-border smuggling, and changes in immigration policy.
Construction began on the Richford Border Inspection Station in 1932 using standardized plans drawn up by the Department of the Treasury Office of the Supervising Architect.
Learn more about the Richford, VT Land Port of Entry and other historic border stations.
Mission, logistical, and technological changes over the decades have led to alterations of many Inspection Stations, now LPOEs. The General Services Administration owns and manages the buildings for CBP.
After thorough study, the best site for a modern LPOE will require demolition of the original border station. In cooperation with the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation and CBP, GSA has developed, and will sponsor, this and similar pages for National Register listed Land Ports of Entry impacted by repair, alteration, modernization and expansion projects under the 2021 IIJA.
