Village Center Designation for Monkton Ridge

The Town of Monkton has applied for and received Village Center designation for Monkton Ridge from the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development (ACCD). The village district consists of Monkton Ridge Road and States Prison Hollow Road down to the Fire Station and is shown in this map.  Village center designation supports the revitalization of Vermont’s small villages and includes benefits to both the Town and homeowners.  For the Town this includes technical assistance and priority consideration for State grants such as VTrans Bike/Ped and Municipal Planning Grants.  For homeowners in the district, benefits include historic tax credits for interior and exterior improvements, facade work and code improvement.  More information is available from the ACCD benefits flyer or by accessing the ACCD village centers web page
