The Town of Hardwick and the Caledonia County Natural Resource Conservation District are seeking letters of interest from Hardwick community members interested in serving on the Jackson Dam Steering Committee.

The Steering Committee will provide a structure for community engagement, project communication, and coordination as the Jackson Dam project moves from feasibility analysis into future design and planning phases. The committee will serve in an advisory capacity and will help support public outreach, identify community questions and concerns, and facilitate communication among project partners, Hardwick Electric Department, municipal officials, businesses, and residents.

The committee is expected to meet approximately once per month, although meeting frequency may vary depending on project activity. The initial meeting will be in August 2026.

The Town is seeking individuals who are interested in helping support community conversations and ensuring that residents have meaningful opportunities to learn about the project and provide feedback throughout the process. Residents, business owners, and other community stakeholders are encouraged to apply.

Interested individuals should submit a brief letter of interest describing their interest in serving on the committee and any relevant experience, interests, or perspectives they would bring to the role.

Letters of interest should be submitted by Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.

Letters may be submitted to:

Town of Hardwick
P.O. Box 523
Hardwick, VT 05843

Or by email to zoning.administrator@hardwickvt.gov.
