ATHENS TOWN PLAN HEARING
JUNE 26th at 7:00pm at the COMMUNITY CENTER
The Athens 2025 Town Plan is in preliminary draft form and is out for public comment. Town Plans in Vermont are not regulatory documents and as such don’t control or curtail use on private property or obligate the town to any specific action. This town plan document describes the town, the services provided to residents and articulates broad town wide goals across a number of topics including Transportation, Land Use and Resource Conservation.
The Planning Commission is holding a public hearing on June 26th, 2025 at 7pm in the Community Center. This is one of the final opportunities to comment on the plan's contents and the Commission urges folks to send in comments/questions to [email protected] in advance of that meeting. The public is also invited to attend the meeting and comment directly as well.
