The State of Vermont has embarked on a new energy plan to meet 90% of the State’s energy from renewable sources by 2050. The Town of Chester may participate in this goal by adding an energy plan chapter to our Town Plan, giving us a voice in this matter. The Chester Planning Commission would like to get a sense of how residents stand on this issue. Please click here for the survey: Chester Energy Survey
The Planning Commission has recently started the process of updating the Uniform Development Bylaws. The Bylaws are the Town’s zoning, subdivision and flood damage prevention regulations.

All meeting are open to the public and participation by the public is strongly encouraged. Please be on the look-out for notices of upcoming work sessions in November and December.
