Town Plan Public Forum Summaries – 2003
As part of its preparation for rewriting the 2005 Hinesburg Town Plan, the Planning Commission held four public forums in early 2003 to gather community input and educate citizens on planning issues. These forums were part of a larger public participation project to encourage discussion and garner feedback regarding the Town Plan. The project also included a Community Survey that was distributed town-wide in January and February.
