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.

General Election Ballots To Be Mailed To Voters

General Election Ballots To Be Mailed To Voters

The Vermont Secretary of State's office will be mailing General Election ballots to all active voters in the state. They will be exporting voter addresses for the mailing on or around September 2nd. As soon as possible, voters should go to their My Voter Page (https://mvp.vermont.gov) and confirm it lists a valid mailing address to ensure receipt of the General Election ballot.

Ballots cannot be forwarded by the USPS, so voters who intend to be away on November 5th should go to their My Voter Page and update their mailing address to ensure they receive a ballot.

Voters may either submit their ballots by mail or by bringing their mail-in ballot to the polling location on Tuesday, November 5th. For West Windsor residents, the official polling location is Story Memorial Hall. Voters attempting to vote at their polling location without the ballot that was mailed to them will be required to sign an attestation that they have not also submitted a mail-in ballot.

For more information on early and absentee voting, please visit the Vermont Secretary of State's website.

Further questions about this process may be directed to the Town Clerk at 802-484-7212 or via email at ayates@westwindsorvt.org.

 


 

Brownsville: Between the Bridges & Beyond

Brownsville: Between the Bridges and Beyond

Planning Project Workshop

The Town of West Windsor is participating in a planning level project for the Village. Brownsville: Between the Bridges and Beyond will provide implementation steps for building an enhanced village center and improving the connection between the Village and Mount Ascutney. The goal of this project is to foster a more inviting and user-friendly village center in Brownsville, with a strong and resilient local economy that serves residents and visitors.

This workshop will be a two-part event on Tuesday, July 23rd. The first hour, from 6:00pm to 7:00pm, will be a hybrid presentation of the project thus far, existing conditions, themes of public engagement and a community conversation about Village and project priorities. The second hour, from 7:00pm to 8:00pm, will be an at-your-own-pace open house where participants can vote for which ideas they think should be further developed by the project team. 

Drop in for as little or as much time as you have, learn about this project, and provide your opinion on specific ideas the team will develop as a part of this planning project.
