Hinesburg’s Village Area contributes greatly to the essential character of the Town. The Village we see today is a function of both the Town’s early history and the Town’s evolution over time. The Village serves as Hinesburg’s hub of community activity by providing a rich mix of residential, commercial, municipal, industrial uses. As such, it helps frame the character of the Town by defining a compact built landscape that stands in contrast to the surrounding rural landscape. It is Hinesburg’s primary growth center, where essential municipal infrastructure (e.g., sewer, water, sidewalks, etc.) are made available to both ensure the public’s welfare and to provide for mixed uses at higher densities than the rest of town. It has also consistently been the focus for the majority of the commercial and industrial development in Hinesburg.

Village Center Designation

Hinesburg has obtained Designated Village status from the Vermont Downtown Program, a division of the Vermont Department of Housing and Community Affairs. Below is information regarding tax incentives to home and business owners for improvements to village properties and a map showing the Hinesburg Village Area.

Village Steering Committee

The Village Steering Committee has been formed to gather, generate and prioritize ideas and plans which will help to enhance the quality of life in the village. See: Village Steering Committee Page
