Selectboard Resolution
Regarding
StoweVillage Center Committee
Whereas Stowe’s Village Center has historically played a central role in our community and the Selectboard desires it to be a vibrant place that serves the needs of residents and visitors;
Whereas it is important to the entire Town that local government invests in our municipal infrastructure, public safety, and aesthetics in order to attract private sector investment;
Whereas it is important that Stowe’s Village Center retains its authenticity while meeting the needs and challenges of the 21st century;
Whereas the Town of Stowe received a Municipal Planning Grant to hire a consultant to provide recommendations on how to achieve these objectives;
Whereas the Town hired Crane Associates, which has completed “The Stowe Village Vibrancy Report” that contains a number of recommendations to assist the community in achieving the aforementioned;
Now Therefore the Selectboard has decided to appoint a citizens committee to help advance this objective in Stowe.
Members:
- Up to twelve members from the community at-large will be appointed by the Selectboard.
- The Board may also appoint one or more of its own members, plus a member of the Planning Commission.

Charge:

- Develop an action plan outlining priorities, responsibilities for implementation, general cost estimates, and possible implementation dates.
- Study and recommend if the Village Center Committee should continue beyond it’s current term and, if so, in what form
