The Killington Planning Commission held a public hearing last Wednesday and voted to send its proposed new municipal plan to the Select Board.
Planning Commission chair Jennifer Ianantuoni said the board will review the proposal and probably hold a public hearing regarding adoption in the fall of 2023.
Planning consultant Lisa Davis Lewis described the proposed plan as a “looking forward” document, rather than just a history of the town with a catalog of features. The town is required to update its municipal plan every eight years.
Lewis added that a municipal plan should contemplate future grant requests.
“If the grant request matches the municipal plan, it helps,” she said.
Iannantuoni said some parts of the plan have been in the works for a year and a half, and the last nine months the commission has been focusing on completion.
The 68-page proposed plan is posted on the Killington Town website under “town plan” for interested parties.
