Regional planners urge broad language for former prison site; MARC aims for revised draft June 26
Summary
Mount Ascutney Regional Commission staff told Windsor planners that MARC will aim for a revised final regional plan by June 26 and expects a public hearing July 27; commissioners urged keeping language broad and requested environmental assessment language for the former prison redevelopment area.
Jason Rasmussen of the Mount Ascutney Regional Commission told the Windsor Planning Commission that MARC is working toward a revised final draft of the regional plan by June 26 and expects a public hearing on July 27. Rasmussen presented draft language addressing the former prison site and the proposed redevelopment area and invited suggested wording from the Commission.
Commissioners said the regional plan language should remain broad to allow the Town Plan update to determine the site's future. Commissioner James Clarke asked that language be added referencing a Phase I environmental site assessment and possible further analysis depending on findings; Rasmussen said MARC would review suggested language. The Commission noted the need for environmental assessment, brownfield analysis, and consideration of potential wildlife impacts before recommending specific redevelopment boundaries.
