Hardwick Municipal Plan Community Survey

We’d love to hear from you!

The Town of Hardwick has started work on the 2027 update to our Municipal Plan, and the Planning Commission is asking for community input to help guide the process.

The Municipal Plan helps shape local decisions about things like housing, infrastructure, flood resilience, food systems, and community priorities over the next several years. Your input will help identify what people value most about Hardwick and what may need attention moving forward.

We’ve created a short community survey (about 5–8 minutes) and would love to hear from residents, workers, business owners, and anyone connected to Hardwick.

Take the survey here:
https://forms.gle/qDag6yeE487iTjQf6

• Responses are anonymous
• You can skip any questions you prefer not to answer
• The survey is open through June 5

Help Us Meet Our Goal of 300 Responses

Survey results will be summarized and shared publicly and will help inform the next Municipal Plan update.

Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or arrived more recently, your perspective helps shape Hardwick’s future.

If you would like a paper copy of the survey or need help completing it, please contact the Zoning Office at 802-472-1686 or the Town Manager’s office at 802-472-6120.
