About West Windsor
West Windsor is a rural Vermont community located amidst rolling hills and meadows just west of the Connecticut River. Mount Ascutney rises more than two thousand feet over the village of Brownsville and provides abundant outdoor recreation opportunities. Boasting miles of spectacular hiking and mountain-biking trails, backcountry skiing, a lift-served community ski area, and tubing hill, the mountain is a destination for outdoor adventure in any season.

The West Windsor Selectboard recently signed a proclamation declaring April 21st through April 28th, 2025 as International Dark Sky Week. Please join the Sustainability Committee and the Selectboard in not only observing and pondering upon this important week, but also in raising awareness and support for protecting our precious dark sky as a resource.
International Dark Sky Week raises awareness of light pollution and provides solutions to protect dark skies while enjoying quality outdoor lighting. International Dark Sky Week events will be celebrated across the globe to help raise awareness of the benefits of community-friendly lighting and our heritage of dark skies.

West Windsor Homes Study - Community Input Forum Follow-Up
West Windsor Homes Study - Community Input Forum Follow-Up
The Planning Commission would like to thank everyone who attended the Affordable Homes Study Community Forum on February 1st. We had a great discussion and appreciate the input of so many community members. If you missed the Forum, you can find a copy of the presentation here. You may also access FAQs and responses here. The Forum was recorded by Windsor on Air TV, and the recording is available here.
Our next step is to identify good locations for affordable homes in the village, on the mountain, and in the secondary growth zone. If you have some land that you believe might make a good site, have an existing home that could be renovated into affordable homes, or if you would like to contribute to the project in some way, please contact Matt Frederick, the West Windsor Town Administrator, at townadmin@westwindsorvt.org.
The next Community Forum will be held in June. Progress on the Homes Study will be discussed at every monthly Planning Commission meeting until then. The next PC meeting is Tuesday, February 25th at 6:30pm, in person and via Zoom. Please feel free to join us!
