Every eight years, the Rutland Regional Planning Commission (RRPC) updates the Rutland Regional Plan, its visionary plan for the future of the region. RRPC is in the development phase for the 2026 Rutland Regional Plan and is seeking public input. The Rutland Regional Plan is a collaborative guide to shape a healthy, equitable and resilient region. The final document will outline policies and actions for achieving our collective goal as it relates to community economic development. Over the next year and a half, RRPC staff will deploy several different outreach methods to engage with agencies and members of the public as we seek feedback on the priorities for the region. Beginning in January 2024, the RRPC is asking residents to participate in our online survey. The survey will remain open through March 31, 2024 and can be accessed through the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RutlandRegionPlan2026 Information collected will help inform a plan that features equitable policies to best serve the region’s communities. The survey will be complemented by a number of public engagement activities, including community open houses and pop-up events. As these are scheduled, they will regularly be updated on the Rutland Regional Plan 2026 website. If your organization is interested in hosting a technical workshop to dive deeper into the Plan development with staff or residents you serve, please reach out to RRPC to schedule a date convenient for your schedule.
