Public input was a main theme of a long meeting of few agenda items Tuesday night. 

The public is called upon for input to the police and fire facilities question once again. The public is invited to weigh in on upcoming budget discussions. And the public had some feedback at the meeting regarding Brattleboro’s new land use regulations.

The board also heard a monthly finance report and approved of some EPA brownfield grant related matters. Read on for all the details.

Does anyone have more information about the current power outage effecting parts of Brattleboro?

Tuesday night the Brattleboro Selectboard will hold the first of two public hearings on the town’s new land use regulations. The new zoning rules are up for a final round of public discussion and comment, and a final opportunity to propose changes, before likely adoption in the near future.

At this special meeting, they will also officially announce a series of public meetings to discuss the Police-Fire Facilities project, and possible pre-select pre-qualified engineering firms to perform brownfield site assessments.

You can attend and participate, and bring up other items not on the agenda during public participation.

The Brattleboro Citizen Police Communications Committee (CPCC) will meet on Monday, October 26, 2015 at 5:30pm at Brooks Memorial Library in the community room.
