The select board voted to authorize the planning commission to work with Windham Regional Commission to update Townshend's Floodplain and River Corridor Ordinance. Doug Valentine, who asked the board to authorize the planning commission, said WRC "requested that we bring it before the select board and get the motion made and passed, before they move forward with the update."
Doug noted the town's last adopted ordinance dates to 2007 and that updated FEMA maps are now available; Windham Regional offered to do the update at no cost. The board moved, seconded and approved the authorization; the planning commission will bring any formal ordinance draft back to the select board for adoption.
