The Vermont Plan
Commission is sponsoring a public meeting to listen to your views on issues
facing the town over the next 20 years, and to provide information about the
"Smart Growth" comprehensive planning process.
The meeting will be facilitated by Bill Rizzo, Community Resource Development
Educator with Dane County UW Extension.
The
Town Board is preparing to produce a Comprehensive
Plan for the Town, as required by Wisconsin Statutes. This Comprehensive Plan will update and replace
the current Land Use Plan, which was approved by the Board in October, 1997.
According
to state law, the development of the Comprehensive
Plan must involve active participation of the Town’s residents. The Plan must address topics such as agricultural,
natural, and cultural resources, transportation, land use, economic development,
and others.
The
planning process will help us decide how we will respond to issues such as increasing
residential development, recreational use of town roads, and many others.
The
January 18 meeting will begin with an overview of the comprehensive planning
process. The remainder of the evening will be devoted
to taking your input on your vision for the Town's future.
There
will be an opportunity to provide written comments if you do not wish to speak. You may also contact any Plan Commission member
to give input or to get more information.
We
look forward to seeing you on January 18 at the Town Hall!
Bill Hanson,
Plan Commission Chair
