What is a town plan?

Town plans are the visioning and guiding document that supports a town’s strategic growth and operations, established in legislation, 24 V.S.A. Chapter 117. Updated every eight years, a town plan provides a clear picture for the town’s future and sets clear goals, mitigating the incidence of short-term, shortsighted decisions. The town plans also serves as the foundation for Poultney’s Unified Bylaws. Having a regionally approved town plan also gives the town strong standing in the Act 250 process.

Civic Engagement

Planning Commissions are staffed by volunteers, requiring a deep concern and dedication to your town to keep up with all the demands of a planning commission. This is just one way to be civically engaged in and supportive of Poultney. Towns thrive because of their residents and their willingness to be involved, ranging from attending a community meeting, to committing to a volunteer with a community group, to even as simple as providing your thoughts on this town plan. Take Action.
