Hardwick Municipal Plan Community Survey

 in Zoning

The survey closed on June 5, 2026

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.

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

Hardwick Development Review Board – An Invitation to Serve

 in Community / Uncategorized / Zoning

The Town of Hardwick is looking for residents who are interested in serving on the Development Review Board.

The DRB reviews development proposals in public meetings and provides a place for neighbors to raise questions and understand how decisions are made before they happen.

After ten years of service, the current chair, John Mandeville, will be stepping down in June. New members are needed to continue this work and to bring a range of community perspectives to the Board.

DRB meetings are held as needed, typically on the 1st or 3rd Wednesday of the month. A hybrid option is available. Meetings generally last about one hour. There is no work requested outside of meetings.

No prior zoning or planning experience is required. Members receive support from the Zoning Office, including guidance on the applicable standards and the questions that need to be addressed during hearings.

If you have ever wondered how development decisions are reviewed, this is where that happens.

For more information or to express interest, please contact Kristen Leahy in the Zoning Office at (802) 472-1686 or zoning.administrator@hardwickvt.gov
