ANR and VTrans are piloting a project of testing a mixture of ground Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) and natural aggregate for use on the driving surface on town highways. We had $10,000 in grant money to subsidize the cost to towns to give it a try. We gave about $3500 to Pownal and Shaftsbury last year, so we’ve about $6500 left. The presentation describes RAS, the potential benefits, BMPs, and the pilot project expectations.

A public information meeting to review preliminary design options for the Quechee Gorge Bridge Rehabilitation Project will be held on Monday, April 8 at 6:30 p.m. at Hartford Town Hall, 171 Bridge Street, White River Junction.
Vermont Agency of Transportation staff and its bridge consultant, Gill Engineering, will receive public input on design elements of the planned bridge project. Sidewalks, railings, and barrier fencing options will be displayed before final project plans are drawn up. This is an opportunity for the public to voice its preference on design elements while plans are still preliminary. After the preliminary plan is refined and approved by VTrans, final plans for the project will be developed in 2019-20.
If you have questions, please call or write Jill Barrett. View the project website at https://vtrans.vermont.gov/projects/quechee

The Town of Woodstock is/are considering making application to the State of Vermont for a VCDP Planning Grant 2018 under the Vermont Community Development Program. A public hearing will be held at 8:00 AM on 4/10/2019 at 31 The Green, Woodstock, VT 05091 to obtain the views of citizens on community development, to furnish information concerning the amount of funds available and the range of community development activities that may be undertaken under this program, the impact to any historic and archaeological resources that may be affected by the proposed project, and to give affected citizens the opportunity to examine the proposed statement of projected use of these funds.
The proposal is to apply for $60,000 in VCDP funds which will be used to accomplish the following activities: To help fund the Keys to the Valley Initiative, a bi-state regional housing assessment that will develop actionable items to emphasize the way our homes fit into the puzzle of this place through transportation, regulation, environment, community, health, employment, and more. The Initiative will undertake community engagement and participation, thorough data analysis and develop implementable strategies for creating (or recreating) homes that are needed by our community members.
