Anyone know of workshop space for rent as close to downtown as possible, for assembly of a sheet metal airplane?

Hello all - I'm looking for around 350-400 sq ft of space, ideally at least partially conditioned (I'd like to heat it to at least 40f in the winter), with access to electrical for running some bench tools (drill press, band saw, bench grinder would be the major ones). Access to water (even just a slop sink) would be a huge benefit, as well as proximity to downtown.

Everywhere I've searched, I can't find anything at all. I'm trying to build a kitplane, the Sonex - I found a super duper cheap halfway completed kit that I'd really like to buy, I just don't have anywhere to built it! Let me know if anyone knows anything. Hangar at the airport is an obvious option, but it'd suck to drive 20 mins each way (and pay the hangar premium) - that'd end up adding a LOT of time to a project that's already likely to take thousands of hours.

Thanks for reading

Needing a career change- Rutland county area.

Currently a homeowner in Rutland city and have been employed with the Federal Government for the past 5 years. My work has become untenable due to having to do the work of 2 people due RIFS, DOGE and subsequent hiring freezes and slow onboarding of new qualified hires. I’m facing likely job loss next month and I’m putting some feelers out there for potential opportunities.
I have a graduate degree and 13 years of professional experience in a human services related field but no clinical license or certification to practice in social work, teaching or other clinical roles. I fear employers looking for different qualifications will pass me over due to salary expectations or being “overqualified” in some other capacity. I also have a school aged child so benefits are a non-negotiable. If anyone knows of some reputable employers that I can look into it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
