Town of Guilford, Vermont

Preserving Guilford's Character: What are our tools?
2023-11-02 18:30 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Broad Brook Community Center, 3940 Guilford Center Road, Guilford, VT, 05301, United States
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.

This is a community-building event that will help the Strategic Planning Process prioritize what matters in Guilford. We will dig deeper into our values, Guilford’s scenic and natural world, and traditional land uses. We will focus on creating a vision that clearly identifies what we want to maintain, evolve, or transform.

How it works: There will be 6 Topic Tables, which will start at the times listed below. After a short presentation, and for the rest of the workshop time, we’ll mix hands-on mapping with an exploration of how Guilford’s history, and its future, are shaped by its people, forests, fields, and hamlets.

We will answer: What should the Town invest in to Preserve the Future in Guilford, to strengthen local connections: social, business, physical, natural. Members of the Planning Commission and the consultant team from DuBois & King will keep building on “what we’ve heard” in the Strategic Planning Process so far. Please stop in any time.

Guilford Art Club
2024-02-07 18:00 - 19:30 | Guilford Free Library, 4024 Guilford Center Rd, Guilford, VT
Guilford Art Club
For this next month we are gonna try a new format.
We are going to MAKE Art together.
Our monthly prompt is the things that surround us. It’s that time of year when we all spend much more time in doors, and we maybe get cabin fever, or maybe we take on projects, get crafty, experiment with our cooking more, write letters, read books… how do the things we surround ourselves with affect us? Do they inspire us? Did we choose them? How did they get there? Do you want more or less of them?
You are invited to bring one or two of these things and we will collectively assemble a Still Life composition for each of us to make our own personal style of art from. Paint, draw, collage, write a poem, compose a song… While we make our art, we can share about our chosen objects.
What to bring: an object or 2 and materials you like to make Art with.
There are some supplies at the Library and perhaps others will share some too.
When: Wednesday February 7th 6pm to 7:30pm
Where: Guilford Free Library
Who: free, all ages and all skill levels
Hope to see you then!
