Build-out Analysis

What is the potential for growth in Marshfield? 

What do we want our town to look like – in the near future?  In ten years?  Twenty years?

 

The Marshfield Town Plan recommended completing a build-out analysis; the Planning Commission has completed the initial build-out evaluation with technical assistance from the Central VT Regional Planning Commission.  Come learn about the preliminary results of the analysis, which examines what the town would look like if it were fully developed according to current zoning regulations, as well as how it might look under various alternative zoning scenarios.  The Planning Commission would like public input before proceeding any further with the analysis.
