The RRPC is finalizing the first draft of the 2026 Regional Plan (the Plan).  It is now time to launch our third and final community engagement phase.  In Phase 3, the RRPC is seeking alignment on the draft Plan’s vision, goals, and priorities, including the new regional future land use map. As the RRPC strives to make the Rutland Region a great place, we would like to meet with each of our municipalities to discuss the Plan and its importance.  At this meeting, we will do the following:

1. Provide an overview of the Plan elements and how Act 181 overhauled Vermont’s land use planning framework.
2. Dive into the new Act 181 land use categories, state designations, and location-based Act 250 jurisdiction tiers.
3. Walk through the draft regional future land use map and highlight key changes from the 2018 map.

This meeting is an opportunity to review and provide feedback on the draft regional future land use map, especially as it applies to Mendon, and determine if Mendon should opt in to Act 250 Tier 1B jurisdiction.
