A conversation about planning that achieves the results desired by the community. We introduce the updated Vermont Planning Manual and discuss ways to create an inclusive process and a plan that meets statutory requirements while providing the town with clear and strategic direction. The webinar took place on February 15, 2017. Contact your local Regional Planning Commission for information about follow up events. Audio is missing for the first two slides of the recorded presentation that includes a welcome and introduction to the Department's Community Planning + Revitalization team.
