At a public hearing on 1/21/26, the Selectboard approved the FOURTH DRAFT of the TOWN PLAN, which consists of the THIRD DRAFT plus amendments to SECTION 6, Future Land Use; this is the FOURTH and potentially FINAL DRAFT.  The associated Planning Commission Report will be reviewed at the Selectboard’s public hearing to be held on 2/17/26 to ensure consistency with the legislative goals of 24VSA §4302 .  

If you desire further information about the Plan, please contact Keith Oborne in the Planning Office who can answer your questions or direct them to a member of the Town Plan Steering Committee.  Informational sessions on the Plan and other ballot items will be held in the Town Center Building meeting room  on Saturday, February 7 at 10 AM, and Monday, February 23 at 7 PM. 

Purpose Statement:

The Richmond Town Plan 2026 Steering Committee will coordinate the development of Richmond’s Town Plan 2026 by engaging with the public, town committees, Planning Commission and Selectboard, and by reviewing and revising the 2018 Town Plan according to public input received as well as new regional and statutory requirements.   Town Plan 2026 must be adopted by November 5, 2026 to remain active, but the goal is to complete the work and put to a town-wide vote on Town Meeting Day in March 2026.
