Purpose:
The EVEAC shall develop a financially feasible plan for the Select Board to implement that will create infrastructure and sellable lots for a new neighborhood East of the current Lower Village, on 23.9 acres of land currently owned by Syringa Investments LLC and Pigeon Pond LLC, with the following goals:
1) Re-house those affected by the floods of July 2023 and July 2024;
2) Provide additional, affordable housing amidst Vermont’s housing crisis;
3) Include a mix of single-family homes, multi-plexes, tiny houses and apartments;
4) Revitalize the town, prioritizing flood-displaced and other Plainfield residents and those who have made significant contributions to the town;
5) Restore lost tax base;
6) Expand the Water and Wastewater user base;
7) Determine a timeline according to what makes the most sense logistically, ecologically, and financially:
8) Place infrastructure as early as possible, so that buyers can design and construct homes as early as possible;
9) Be cost-neutral to the Town;
10) Create public, common, and open space and paths that enrich the lives of Plainfield residents.
