Overview
In 1983 the towns of Fayston, Waitsfield, & Warren, Sugarbush Resort, the Central VT Regional Planning Commission, and the State of Vermont signed an MOU to ensure coordination and collaboration for the purpose of monitoring major development in the Mad River Valley. This relationship was formalized two years later with the creation of the Mad River Valley Planning District (MRVPD) as a Union Municipal District, the purpose of which "is to carry out a program of planning for the future of the Mad River Valley."
Since that time, MRVPD has navigated the issues and challenges of the Mad River Valley, providing leadership, technical support, and ideas on how the three towns, Fayston, Waitsfield, and Warren, can best respond and rise to the challenges it faces.
As MRVPD approaches the completion of its fourth decade of service, its Steering Committee recognizes the needs, priorities, successes, and challenges of the MRV community have changed and evolved since its creation. As such, it is hosting this event with organization partners in order to review MRVPD's purpose and work, assess its relationship with its members, and identify elements that will ensure organizational relevance and community success in the years to come. This is an opportunity to take stock of where both MRVPD and the MRV have been, where it is, and ensure the best process in charting a path forward.
