Tell us what you think about Transportation Options in Monkton – Participate in our Survey

 The Town of Monkton Energy Committee and the Monkton Planning Commission have created a survey, survey can be found here, to hear your thoughts on transportation.   What should the town be working on to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels?  What do you need to shift your commuting or regular driving choices that could put money back in your pocket?  The purpose of the survey is to gain an understanding of your transportation needs – where do you usually go – to work, school, grocery store?  Continue reading →

Vermont Gas will schedule an additional informational.  From Beth Parent:

Thank you to the Selectboard and the Monkton residents who have expressed concern about the scheduling of our public info meeting about the low-level trench development blasting program associated with some parts of the pipeline construction.  Vermont Gas will schedule an additional public information meeting (like the one that will be held on Monday Feb. 8th) in the next couple weeks.  At least a week before the additional meeting, we will communicate with the Town the details of the time and place of the meeting.  We hope to schedule the next meeting early this coming week.  This is just the start of the public information process.  There will also be a process for informing affected landowners near the proposed pipeline corridor by mail and otherwise, as set forth in the MoU between Monkton and Vermont Gas.  Please feel free to email or call me with questions about any aspect of this activity.  Thanks, Beth Parent, Vermont Gas (bparent@vermontgas.com or 578-2776)

This is information copied from a notice in the Addison Independent – thanks to Betsy McDonough Brown for bringing it to the Town’s attention.

A public information meeting will be held by Vermont Gas Systems to provide residents of Monkton with information about ledge removal and low impact rock drilling and blasting that may be necessary for a portion of the proposed natural gas pipeline route.  Meeting to be held on Monday, February 8 at 4:30 p.m. at the Monkton Volunteer Fire Department (the Town of Monkton Fire Station), 3747 States Prison Road, Monkton, Vermont 05469.  Please call Beth Parent at 802-865-1460 for additional information.
