COMMUNITY NOTICES:

The East Montpelier Selectboard and Planning Commission invite you to a workshop exploring the issue of whether a development review board would be good for the town. An appointed DRB essentially replaces the appointed zoning board of adjustment and takes over the quasi-judicial aspect of the elected planning commission. The workshop, paid for by a VT DHCA Municipal Education Grant, will be presented by Garrett Baxter, VLCT staff attorney. Please join us at the town municipal office building July 16, 2009, at 7:30 p.m. For more information, contact Bruce Johnson at 223-3313x205.
