2025 Town Wide Survey Reminder

Dear Monkton Residents,

Please help Monkton with future planning by completing the 2025 townwide planning survey on a range of topics. Our townwide surveys in 2005 and 2016 were very helpful in directing new versions of the Town Plan and the Unified Planning Document (UPD) that houses zoning and subdivision regulations.

It is time again to ask you about planning and updating zoning. Please take time out of your busy schedule to complete the survey. We thank you in advance for your input

You can go directly to the survey at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffsHOyNVFGRBOpRCV8-2IvikhW2Atgs9HTY8JP0y0ncKXC3w/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=101029506561779011937/

Or you can ask for a paper copy of the Town Clerk’s office 802-453-3800.

Please complete the survey by July 31, 2025.

We want your voice to be part of Monkton’s future.

With collaboration with the Monkton Fire Dept. we have moved the green bag drop off location to the Monkton Fire Department @ 3747 States Prison Hollow Road.
We have put signs out and there is a truck over there, as well.

DRAFT Town Forest Management Plan

After hearing from the community through an online survey, six topic meetings last fall, and through emails and conversations, the committee has completed the draft of the Monkton Town Forest Management Plan, and it’s ready for the community to review.

Draft Monkton Town Forest Management Plan

The plan is some 53 pages long, but there’s a four-page executive summary at the beginning if you’d prefer to review that. For details, reasoning, maps and images, you can reference the full plan, starting on page 7.

The committee is hosting two events at the Monkton Town Hall next week to review and discuss feedback on the plan, let us know if you can join us! They will be the same format and we’ll have light refreshments to share. ZOOM will be available :
