Online Surveys from Planning Commission Open House

The Monkton Planning Commission has received a number of requests from Monkton residents who were unable to attend the open house on the Town Plan held May 14th. Townspeople want to be able to complete the surveys that we used at that event. Here is the link to the surveys along with the date they need to be submitted by: May 31st at 10 PM.

If you missed the open house or didn’t have time to complete the surveys while you were there this is the opportunity to let your voice be heard in the planning process.

Hold the Date: May 14th 6 to 8 PM – Open House on the Town Plan

Monkton Residents,

It is time to update the Town Plan, the document that sets the direction and vision for how the citizens of Monkton would like our town to look into the future. You can be part of this process by providing input at an open house on May, 14th from 6-8pm at the Monkton Fire Station (3747 States Prison Hollow Road).

This will not be a traditional sit down meeting but rather an interactive opportunity to visit any or all of 5 different stations that will each address different aspects of the town plan that needs to be updated. We are seeking input on: the location in Monkton of commercial renewable energy projects (like solar and wind), affordable housing and senior housing, flood resiliency, village center designation, public transportation, walking and cycling, forest fragmentation and much more.

You are welcome to come just long enough to comment on the one thing that you feel passionate about or stay for the entire time and comment on every station, while you enjoy a slice of pizza!

The Monkton Scouts will be a staffing a kids craft table and snacks!

We have door prizes featuring Monkton businesses.

Unable to come on the 14th? You can still provide your ideas to the Monkton Planning Commission by mail or email by May 15th. Our email address is: planningcommission@monktonvt.com
