Weybridge planning commission outlines town plan rewrite after grant denial
Summary
After a grant denial, the Addison County Regional Planning Commission offered targeted support—updated maps, data, and sample sections—to help Weybridge officials rewrite the 2026–27 Town Plan; commissioners assigned section leads and agreed to include 4–5 year implementation plans and a town survey announced at Town Meeting in March.
Adam Lougee, Executive Director of the Addison County Regional Planning Commission, told the Weybridge Planning Commission on Jan. 13 that ACRPC staff will provide targeted assistance to help the town rewrite its 2026–27 Town Plan after the town was denied grant funding. Lougee said ACRPC will update maps and data and provide sample sections for topics including transportation, flood resiliency and forest blocks, future land use, population and housing, the town survey, and an enhanced energy update.
The commission agreed to assign town volunteers to draft specific sections and to pair each with a regional planning contact. "My goal was to help the Planning Commission develop a strategy for rewriting/updating the Weybridge Town Plan given we were denied a grant that would have financed ongoing and significant expert help from the ACRPC," Adam Lougee said. Commissioners also agreed that each section should include an implementation plan listing actions the town intends to accomplish in the next four to five years.
Gale Hurd volunteered to work on the survey and aimed to have a draft by the February meeting; the commission decided to announce the survey at Town Meeting in March and mail it to residents later that month. Jeff Olson volunteered to update the existing town-plan Word document with new information. Katie Raycroft-Meyer was named as the regional planning contact/coordinator for the revision effort.
The discussion focused on practical next steps rather than adopting policy language at the Jan. 13 meeting. Commissioners were asked to read the sections for which they are responsible and bring notes and proposed edits to the February meeting so staff can compile a draft for future review.
