Marble Mill Park in Swanton |
Congratulations to the towns of Enosburgh, South Hero, and Swanton!
In late November, the Agency of Commerce and Community Development awarded three municipal planning grants to municipalities in Northwest Vermont. The total grant award for all three projects in the region equals $50,523. Statewide, ACCD awarded approximately $460,000 to 29 municipalities and 3 consortia.
Enosburgh will develop a Recreation Field Revitalization Plan to help make the public playing fields and the activities planned for them more attractive to a wider variety of people, as a way to improve community health. This recreation space will support the creation of a healthy community for Enosburgh's diverse ages, abilities, and interests.
South Hero will develop a plan to evaluate the feasibility of renovating the historic Old White Meeting House in South Hero village. Consultants hired by the town will inspect and evaluate the Old White Meeting House to help the community decide whether to renovate it for much-needed public meeting space.
Swanton will prepare a community-driven master plan for the Marble Mill Park in the village to improve access to recreation while addressing stormwater and flood concerns. The project will allow the town to contract with landscape architecture and engineering professionals to create a plan to revitalize the park for improved accessibility, safety, and usability.
