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.

Development Review Board Vacancy

Development Review Board Vacancy


The West Windsor Selectboard is looking for a volunteer to fill an opening on the Development Review Board (DRB). If you are interested, please contact DRB Chair Shannon Harrington at hshannon383@gmail.com or Zoning Administrator Deb Shearer at zoning@westwindsorvt.org.

 
The Development Review Board is a quasi-judicial board which hears and decides on applications for variances, conditional use, site plan review, flood hazard review, subdivision of land, and/or planned unit development. The DRB also hears appeals of Zoning Administrator decisions. The DRB meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM on an “as needed” basis (i.e. if there are any applications that need to be heard).


Helpful (but not required) background: prior work with state or local governments; prior community board service; knowledge of judicial procedure or Vermont statutes (especially land use regulations); prior zoning experience.

West Windsor Affordable Homes Study Community Forum #2
West Windsor Affordable Homes Study
Community Forum #2
 
The Planning Commission would like to thank everyone who attended the second Affordable Homes Study Community Forum on Saturday, September 27th. At the Forum, we reviewed our community’s need for affordable homes for people of moderate means, discussed the process we followed for selecting good locations in town, and presented potential building styles and layouts for four top priority sites. We then reviewed potential next steps to help move these opportunities forward, including the possibility of a local Housing Commission and a Housing Fund.
 
 
We had a great discussion and appreciate the input of so many community members. You can find a copy of all materials from the Affordable Homes Study here.
 
If you have any questions or comments about affordable homes in West Windsor, or would like to volunteer to help, please feel free to reach out to Al Keiller, Planning Commission Chair at sienawine@me.com, or Jill Appel, Planning Commission member and Project Manager for the Affordable Homes Study at jill.appel@comcast.net
