Zoning reviews move forward with Village 1 updates
The Ordinance Review Committee and Planning Board both met June 22 to consider a package of zoning changes for the Village 1 district. Agendas for the two panels included items to approve the district’s legal description, map, summary of allowed uses, and a schedule of dimensional requirements. The ordinance committee was slated to forward its amended documents to the Planning Board, which in turn would send final versions to the Selectboard. Whether the bodies took votes and what the outcomes were could not be confirmed because minutes were not published by press time.
Climate team reorganizes, plots next steps
The Climate Action Team convened June 24 with a full agenda of organizational and programmatic business. Members planned to elect a new chairperson and secretary following Cassandra Rose’s move to serve as Selectboard liaison. The team also intended to review progress on a greenhouse gas inventory, discuss re-enrollment in the Community Resilience Partnership’s two‑year program, and begin shaping a public communications strategy. As with the zoning meetings, official minutes were not available at deadline.
