REGION – The Windham Regional Comission (WRC) will be hosting an in-person and remote public meeting to present a draft of the Windham Regional Plan update. WRC assists 27 towns in southeastern Vermont to provide effective local governance and address regional issues. The Regional Plan provides guidance on the future of the region and is used for WRC’s work program and regional planning efforts.
The focus of the current plan update is to meet new state requirements following the passage of Act 181 in 2024. Act 181 overhauls Vermont’s planning framework to coordinate state, regional, and municipal land-use planning. Members of the public, municipal officials, and local organizations are encouraged to attend the meetings to learn more about the role of the Regional Plan and to provide input. Draft revisions to the Regional Plan are available to review on WRC’s website, www.windhamregional.org. Additional information is also available at this website.
Meetings will be held on Thursday, May 7, at 5:30 p.m., at the Winston Prouty Center, Holton Hall, fourth-floor conference room, 209 Austine Drive, Brattleboro, Vt.; and on Wednesday, May 20, at 6 p.m., via Zoom, with access information available at www.windhamregional.org.
