Green Up Day 2026

The 2026 Green Up Vermont (GUV) Day takes place on May 2, 2026. The West Windsor Sustainability Committee is our town’s coordinator for this annual event. West Windsor residents have been enthusiastic participants in GUV since its inception in 1970 and we hope to continue that tradition in 2026.

Official GUV trash bags are now available. If you would like to get a head start you can pick up bags at the Mary L. Blood Library on Saturday April 18th from 9.00am to 1.00pm. A representative of the Sustainability Committee will be there to answer any questions you may have about GUV. Bags will also be available at the West Windsor Town Hall on GUV Day (May 2nd) between 8.30am and 12.00pm.

Full bags can be drop off at the Weathersfield Transfer Station during scheduled hours for NO charge (5024 Route 106 Perkinsville, Vermont 05151) or you can put them in the West Windsor Dump Truck that will be parked at Town Hall until approximately 4.00pm on May 2nd.

If you have any questions please drop an email to iuppa@mac.com

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 Roads Posted

As of 02/15/26, all town roads in West Windsor, both paved and unpaved, are posted to have weight limit restrictions, preventing heavy vehicles from potentially causing damage to town roads. These postings are placed at each access to West Windsor town roads from adjacent municipalities or state roads.

Specific permission for vehicles weighing in excess of the posted limit traveling on posted roads may be granted on a case-by-case basis by the highway foreman. Please contact Mike Spackman at 802-484-5044 with any questions or to request a temporary waiver for overweight travel on posted roads.

Road postings automatically expire on May 15^th and may be rescinded earlier if the conditions allow for it.

Local Option Tax Proposal

As part of an ongoing process to identify alternative revenue sources beyond property taxes, the West Windsor Selectboard encourages voters to consider and approve a one percent (1%) local option tax on rooms, meals & alcohol, and sales, with the proceeds being used to offset capital expenses. At our annual Town Meeting on Tuesday, March 3rd, West Windsor voters will vote on three separate articles authorizing the adoption of these taxes. Those articles are as follows:

• ARTICLE 5: Shall the Town assess a one percent (1%) tax on rooms, as allowed by Vermont law, with the proceeds of such tax being dedicated to offset capital expenses?

• ARTICLE 6: Shall the Town assess a one percent (1%) tax on meals and alcoholic beverages, as allowed by Vermont law, with the proceeds of such tax being dedicated to offset capital expenses?

• ARTICLE 7: Shall the Town assess a one percent (1%) tax on sales, as allowed by Vermont law, with the proceeds of such tax being dedicated to offset capital expenses?
