Preserving Guilford’s Character: What are our tools?
November 2 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Guilford’s Town Plan, 2022-2030, states in the ‘Settlements and Land Use’ section that
“residents envision a town that maintains its rural character; protects its natural
resources..” This aspiration is deeply rooted in residents’ love of Guilford, its history and
its land.
Recently much attention has been drawn to the housing shortage in Vermont. The state
is actively exploring means to expand housing availability. Potentially this could mean
that there is interest in increasing the housing stock in Guilford. As a community we
would be better positioned to preserve what is cherished by learning what tools Towns
can employ to shape growth.
The public is invited to an information seminar: “Preserving Guilford’s Character: What
are our tools?” presented by Matt Bachler, Senior Planner, Windham Regional
Commission on Thursday, November 2 at 6:30 pm at the Broad Brook Community
Center. He will review Act 250 requirements, current trends in Land Use Regulation in
Vermont, regulatory and non-regulatory means available to towns to guide growth and
development.
