Some new ideas aren't all that new.

Timberly Williams

There are 34 incorporated villages in Vermont. They provide public services to Vermonters and promote participation, equal voice and shared responsibility.

Vermont Statutes lay out the process for forming a Village. At the request of the residents of the Westbury neighborhood, we have been researching how and why we might want to incorporate Westbury as a village.

The Westbury Co-op owns and maintains the water system, roads, electrical connections and wastewater. In many communities, these are managed by a municipality.

Yelling and screaming on social media was popular in 2020. It doesn't have to be that way in 2023. You vote every day, see if voting can make you feel better. Ask yourself - how did I vote this week?

ABOUT US >

The Village Project is made up of residents of Colchester. We believe that incorporating Westbury as a village (something Vermonters have done since 1816) makes sense to manage the services we inherited when 10 VSA 6242 helped us keep our neighborhood from being sold to developers.

​

We are pursuing this path to strengthen our community as it is the best form of government to promote greater participation, equal voice and shared responsibility.

​

Discussions are the only way we find solutions!

Good luck to all of us!
