Learn More! Addison County Housing Goals

September 30th 10-12 pm at the Library

The Future Land Use Mapping is part of Act 181, Vermont's new land use law passed by the Legislature in June 2024 modernizing portions of Act 250. Act 181 represents a shift in how Vermont approaches development, resilience, and natural resource protection. Act 47 of 2023 (aka HOME Act) introduced new requirements for regional and municipal plans, one being the inclusion of housing targets for 2030 and 2050 to ensure an adequate supply of safe and affordable housing.

Why is this important? Understanding these changes will help your community proactively plan for growth, align with state policy, and position itself for future funding and support. ACRPC welcomes your comments and feedback.

Book Club: Lincoln in the Bardo

October 30th at 7pm at the home of Leslie Wright

February 1862- The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. From that seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of its realistic, historical framework into a supernatural realm both hilarious and terrifying. Willie Lincoln finds himself in a strange purgatory where ghosts mingle, gripe, commiserate, quarrel, and enact bizarre acts of penance. Within this transitional state—called, in the Tibetan tradition, the bardo—a monumental struggle erupts over young Willie’s soul.
