First of all, many thanks to the 30 community members who attended the Planning Commission's November 12 community forum on growth! We heard a bit from our two speakers on how the City of South Burlington and the Town of Williston have dealt with their own growing pains. Good information and good questions from the audience. Then we broke into four small discussion groups - no script, no forced topics, just free-form discussion to hear what folks were thinking about growth and development here in Hinesburg. Planning Commissioners were taking notes, and I'll be summarizing and distributing those soon.
At their November 19 meeting, the Planning Commission will discuss what they heard at the forum, along with how it relates to Hinesburg's Town Plan. All PC meetings are open to the public, so feel free to attend to listen in and be part of the ongoing discussion. All PC meetings are also recorded by Vermont Community Access Media (http://www.vermontcam.org), in case you're interested but would rather listen in remotely or at another time that works better for you. Stay tuned for information about our next community forum on Traffic Congestion on December 10. In the meantime, here is the agenda for the 11/19 PC meeting. Note that this meeting will take the place of the PC's regularly scheduled meeting on the 4th Wednesday (11/26).
