Regional Sustainability Project

Description

The first meeting of the Steering Committee overseeing a two year regional sustainability initiative is a partnership of Chittenden County municipalities, state and local agencies, institutions and non-profit organizations. The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission is the primary agency providing the staff support for this endeavor. The project is supported with a $1 million grant from the HUD (US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development), DOT (US Dept. of Transportation) and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Sustainable Communities Partnership. The project represents a once in a generation opportunity for the Chittenden County region to address long-term sustainability by developing a vision, goals and strategies that promote appropriate governance and development while ensuring social equity for the region’s population.

The results of the effort will be used in updating the Burlington Legacy Plan, the County’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), the Chittenden County Metropolitan Transportation Plan and the Chittenden County Regional Plan. This initial meeting will introduce the project Steering Committee, review the partnership agreement and project work plan including proposed public engagement activities.
