Burlington

From Ohavi Zedek Synagogue:

Since 2021, the City of Burlington has been working to implement a 10-point housing action plan. The plan includes major housing-related initiatives for institutions (such as UVM); for the South End; and for City-wide implementation. City of Burlington Planning Director Meagan Tuttle and other Planning Department staff update us on these housing initiatives, and are available for comments and answer questions about housing-related issues that Burlington is facing.

From the organizer:

Burlington has been facing increasingly challenging public safety problems since 2020. It is time we focus on solutions. With a keen eye toward balancing the needs of our most vulnerable community members with the need to maintain our vibrant downtown, the forum brings together community leaders from our area and other cities. We hear about solutions and programs that are working in some of our most challenged cities. Then, we inspire some Burlington-sized solutions to share with the group. Come to learn, come to inspire, come to help create Burlington’s NEXT ACT!

Speakers include:

• Kelly Devine, Executive Director, Burlington Business Association
• Par Tolles, Partner & CEO, Tolles Development
• Kate Thomas, Assistant County Manager, Washoe County Nevada
• Grant Denton, Executive Director, Karma Box Project
• Brad Segal, President, PUMA Downtown Association
• John Caner, CEO, Downtown Berkeley Association

From the City of Burlington:

The Great Streets Initiative is a culmination of many years of planning and project development, including the public vote in March of 2015 to use the City’s downtown TIF district to make new investments in the downtown’s public infrastructure, to ensure that Burlington residents have a downtown that is a vibrant, walkable, and sustainable urban center.

Through this initiative, we advance several key projects envisioned by plans such as Imagine City Hall Park, planBTV Downtown and Waterfront Master Plan, and the Transportation Plan.
