LONDONDERRY, Vt. – The Town of Londonderry’s Village Wastewater Committee will host a public meeting on Oct. 17, at 6 p.m., at the Flood Brook School. The purpose of this meeting is to share details of the project with the community, and the progress that has been made to date. We urge all residents, business, and property owners to come and learn about Londonderry’s effort, and what other communities throughout the state are doing to address water quality concerns.
Questions about why this project is taking place and what the benefits are will be addressed by our team of experts. The presenters include project engineer Chrissy Haskins from DuFresne Group, Emily Hackett from the state department of environmental conservation, and Juli Beth Hinds from Birchline Planning. There will be plenty of time for questions, and for the public to share their concerns and support for the project.
The Village Wastewater project, focused on the north and south villages, received significant funding from the state to move this project forward. If left as is, both villages will continue to struggle with vacant and underutilized commercial and residential properties, instead of regaining their previous vibrancy. The Town of Londonderry needs community support for efforts to revitalize its village centers, goods and services available locally, various community gathering places, affordable housing, and even to improve the grand list.
