Proctor Community to Set Priorities for Action on April 18

All members of the Proctor Community are invited to participate in the first phase of the "Proctor's Future" process to set direction for the future of the community! The meeting, to be held on Wednesday April 18 from 6:30 - 9:00 pm at the Proctor High School, will bring community members together to lend their voice to an exciting priority-setting session to review assets and challenges, brainstorm action ideas, discuss what's most important, vote community priorities, and line up for action.

At the April 18 meeting, the Vermont Council on Rural Development will facilitate a discussion where members of the community will brainstorm potential action ideas for the future, advocate for causes of particular interest, and finally vote for issues they want to move forward in the coming year. The issues that are selected will become the focus of task forces in the future. In May, VCRD will return with a resource team of state, federal, and non-profit leaders to help the new task forces build action plans and resource connections to advance the priority projects.

Bruce Baccei, chair of the Proctor Selectboard invites everyone in town to participate saying, "Please take the time to attend the meeting at Proctor High School on April 18th at 6:30 pm, This is an effort to talk and discuss what action the town's people would like to take to further develop Proctor. With help from VCRD, we can energize our unique town again. With you voice, ideas, and help, we can move into a new tomorrow!"

Proctor resident and Planning Commission chair Richard Horner said, "I am looking forward to constructive discussions with the Proctor community guided by the VCRD team. Hopefully the process will help guide Proctor in new and exciting directions."

All residents are encouraged to come on April 18 to brainstorm and vote for issues that will become the focus of working groups in the coming year. Mark your calendars and come play an active role in shaping your town's future.

The Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD) was invited by the Town of Proctor to facilitate the "Proctor's Future" process. Paul Costello, VCRD's Executive Director, says, "Proctor's rich history as the center of the nation's marble industry has contributed to a wonderful set of assets in its village center and heritage buildings. VCRD is excited to be working with the community as it considers ways to build on this history and optimize on these assets for a vital future."

VCRD is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to the advancement of Vermont communities. In the past 20 years, they have worked with over 60 communities throughout Vermont to bring residents together through their facilitated and structured process to share ideas and move toward common solutions.
