Summary

CCRPC staff presented proposed FY24 Unified Planning Work Program projects, highlighting funding for brownfields site assessments, PlanBTV New North End corridor study, municipal bylaw support for Williston, and potential removal of the Housing Navigators program after legislative changes.

Taylor Newton, Planning Program Manager for the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission, reviewed the proposed FY24 Unified Planning Work Program. Staff flagged a significant allocation for brownfields site assessments, a major PlanBTV New North End corridor study, assistance for Williston to implement housing-supportive bylaw amendments, participation by Milton and Essex Junction in a Northwest Vermont Transit-Oriented Development coding project, and Charlotte’s use of a Bylaw Modernization Grant to review village zoning.

Newton also noted the Housing Navigators program is likely to be removed from the CCRPC work program because it was dropped from the Legislature’s housing bill (S.100). Rural assistance funds were earmarked primarily for the Town of St. George. Staff said all requested projects in the draft UPWP are expected to be funded and invited follow-up as the program is finalized.
