Town of Londonderry Development Review Board Warning of Public Hearing – Norris Solar Energy Project
The Town of Londonderry Development Review Board (DRB) will convene on April 30, 2018 at 5:30 PM at the Londonderry Town Office (Twitchell Building), 100 Old School Street, South Londonderry, VT 05155 for the purpose of holding a public hearing on the proposed Norris Solar Energy Project, a 500 kW net-metered solar facility on 2.75 acres of a 32-acre former quarry site. The project will be accessed using an existing gravel access road, 60′ from the West River (just outside the FEMA floodplain) and 245′ from Rt. 100. The DRB has conducted a site development review and is seeking public comment as part of the Conditional Use review process.
The Town of Londonderry Select Board has provided a Conditional Letter of Support for the project and the project has received the support of the Windham Regional Planning Commission.
For additional Information about local review of the project please contact the Town of Londonderry Zoning Administrator at 802-824-3356 or townadmin@londonderryvt.org.
2018 ROAD SAFETY SURVEY
Dear Londonderry Residents,
The Town of Londonderry is again looking into ways to make our town roads safer for both vehicular travel and pedestrian use. Given the steady growth of the town and the ever increasing use of town roads for leisure purposes – walking, jogging, bicycling, horseback riding, etc. – it seems some improvements may be needed.
The Traffic Safety Committee is seeking input from residents regarding the roads you live on or most frequently travel. We ask that you focus on issues such as speed, signage, and road conditions. You may wish to point out sections along your road that you believe to be particularly unsafe, and provide reasons why. We also hope you will suggest specific changes or improvement that could be taken by the town to make our roads safer.
We cannot guarantee that all problem areas will be resolved, but we are confident that input from the community will help the Committee to better focus and prioritize. Please email your suggestions to trafficsafety@londonderryvt.org
Thank you.
