Update on the Greater Greensboro Community Visit and Survey Link
The Greensboro Association is sharing this update from the Vermont Council on Rural Development. We encourage all members of the Community to participate in the survey as well as attend the August 22 meeting. SIGN UP FOR THE MEETING HERE.
Dear Greensboro Community Members,
Thank you so much for an afternoon/evening of invigorating discussion and celebration for the future of Greensboro on July 17th. The Visiting Team of statewide experts and leaders were so impressed with the strong turnout, the deep and thoughtful conversation, and your great ideas for the future of your community.
I wanted to follow up to share a few key points as we move forward in the Greater Greensboro community forums:
– If you weren’t able to share your idea, or have more to add, please complete this survey to share your ideas by August 9th (Feel free to pass along to others who were unable to attend!)
– We are compiling photos of the Greater Greensboro process which you can see here. Feel free to share and tag yourself and your friends!
NEXT MEETING: Thursday August 22nd6:30-9:00pm at Lakeview Union School at 189 Lauredon Avenue – this will be a chance to review all of your ideas and vote on priorities for the future. Please pass along an invitation to all of your friends and neighbors! More details to come soon.
Thanks so much!

Important Information from the Greensboro Planning Commission
Now that we are at the start of the summer season, the Greensboro Planning Commission would like to share some information with you.
First, we are excited to announce that the new Town Plan is completed and is attached as a pdf at the end of this message. It will also be posted on the Town website.
Second, like you, we are very concerned with declining water quality. While only a small part of the contamination comes from wastewater, it all adds up and every little bit helps. Thank you for an annual check and maintenance of your wastewater systems and for honoring your house’s occupancy limits. If you don’t know your house’s occupancy limits, let us know and we can help.
Here is a very informative link that explains how septic systems work.
Septic Systems and Surface Water – https://www.epa.gov/septic/septic-systems-and-surface-water
Surprisingly, many of our homes still don’t have modern septic systems. Some even only have cesspits for waste. But each year a few more homes update to more modern systems, often when old systems fail.
Thank you for doing what you can for water quality !
Best wishes for a great summer 2019 !
The Greensboro Planning Commission
