VCRD's Community Visit program is a three-month series of public meetings that includes:

Community Visit Day - April 28, 2022

On April 28, Brownington community members came together to discuss assets, challenges, and ideas for their future in 4 in-person forums on topics chosen in advance by a steering committee of local leaders: Community Connection & Communication; Businesses in Brownington; Recreation, Entertainment & Fun; and Infrastructure: Roads, Broadband, Cell - and gather for a free community dinner with live music. A Zoom session was offered for those not able to join in person. Forum sessions and the community dinner were be joined by a listening team of federal, state, business, nonprofit and philanthropic leaders.

Community Meeting Day - May 25, 2022

Brownington community members will come together to review, discuss, and vote to prioritize ideas for action shared in March forums. Through a dot-voting exercise, participants will whittle down a list of action ideas to a few priorities and then sign up to join local task force groups that will move them forward. Read the forum notes and action ideas that meeting participants will review for prioritization.

Community Resource Meeting and Task Force Launch - June 16, 2022

Brownington community members will come together for the final step in the process. Each of the new task force groups will begin to build action plans, set the scope of their work, and meet with a visiting team of resource providers and experts to identify available resources and funding opportunities. From here forward, all action is focused at the local task force level.
