Zoning Bylaw Update
The Planning Commission is in the process of updating the Zoning Bylaw – to be formally warned, reviewed, and adopted in 2020. This is a long process that includes making many small and large changes to an important document. Please feel free to review the current draft, linked below, and provide comments, questions, or other feedback. Note: for now this is still very much a working draft – there will be numerous issues with section numbering, references, spacing, etc. until it gets closer to a final draft; please ignore those but by all means pass on any substantive comments to the Planning Commission!

Press Release: Danville Village to Village Project Begins!
Rail Trail survey: https://www.v2v-danvillevt.org/take-our-survey/ We encourage everyone to take the survey!
The Danville Village to Village Master planning process is moving into the Wayfinding phase of the project and we need your input! What is Wayfinding? It is instructional signage that helps us safely and conveniently navigate and move through a community.
A Wayfinding plan for the Danville segment of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail is currently underway. We ask that you please take a moment to complete our short survey and let us know the key destinations in Danville that should be included in the plan.
Wayfinding can help point trail users to basic amenities, share mileage to important destinations in town and can even help boost the local economy by promoting our village businesses.
Thank you to Danville Girl Scout Troup 51442 for helping to kick-off this phase of the project!
The Danville Village to Village Committee is excited to announce that the first full draft of the Danville Village to Village Activity Center Master Plan is now available for review. In the plan you will find recommendations relating to transportation enhancements, wayfinding signs, economic development and marketing.
We are seeking comments from the public through Wednesday, September 11, 2019. Following this comment period our consultants will revise the draft plan. We will present the revised draft to the public at a joint meeting of the Village to Village Steering Committee and the Danville Planning Commission on Thursday, September 26, 2019 at 6:30pm at the Danville Town Office.
The draft plan and attachments can be downloaded from our website here: https://www.v2v-danvillevt.org/reports-results/
Comments can be submitted by email to csargent@dubois-king.com.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts! Thank you!
