Want
to Explore Options
for Guiding Growth
in Your Community?
While
Vermont has not
seen sprawling
development at
the same pace
as other New
England states,
our state is
under pressure.
Most
small towns are
managed by volunteers,
many lack the
training and
background in
the complex development
issues brought
before town boards.
A number of larger
towns and cities
have professional
planning staff.
Due
to this lack
of expertise
at the local
level, many communities
do not have the
capacity to plan
for growth or
evaluate the
costs and benefits
of development
options.
Collaborative Activities
The Vermont Smart Growth Collaborative offers assistance and advice
to help you with land use and big box retail development issues
in your downtown centers and villages, and adjacent rural countryside.
By leveraging the expertise of ten diverse
organizations, we provide solutions including answers to questions
to hands-on consultation on larger projects. This includes
assistance on:
- Planning
- Zoning
- Big box development
- Affordable housing
- Neighborhood development
