FY28 Town Meeting Appropriation Requests
Organizations who wish to request a town appropriation for the 2027 Town Meeting have been requested to fill out an appropriation application which can be found here.
New appropriations will require a town petition which can be found here. 34 valid Greensboro voters’ signatures are required.
The FY28 budget committee is laboring to draft the budget by November 16, 2026, in preparation for public comments meetings in early December. If you wish to request an appropriation and need assistance, please contact Brett Stanciu, town treasurer (802-533-2911 or zoning@greensborovt.gov). By state statute, petitioned appropriation requests can be submitted by January 14, 2027. However, it would be IMMENSELY helpful to have anticipated figures submitted to the treasurer by mid-November. If you have any questions, please call or stop in. Thank you.

OUR NEW TOWN PLAN-READY FOR REVIEW
The State of Vermont requires towns and cities to update their Town Plans at least every 8 years. Greensboro’s last Town Plan was written in 2019.
Specific reasons to have a town plan include:
- Guide for community investments – Information in the Plan can be used for developing recommendations contained in the Town’s capital plan and for providing guidance to the Select Board
- Guide for local regulations – All land use regulations, including zoning, must be consistent with the goals of the Plan. The plan is the foundation for our existing and future regulations
- Support for state grant applications – Many grant programs available to Greensboro consider whether the town has stated a need for the grant request in its Plan.
The Greensboro Planning Commission (GPC) will present the draft 2026 Plan for review by town residents at a public hearing on Wednesday, November 4th, at 6:30, in the Fellowship Hall of the Greensboro United Church of Christ. At the Public Hearing the GPC will listen to feedback and suggestions town residents may have on the new Plan. Dessert will be provided. Arrangements have been made to make this Public Hearing available via Zoom (with chat enabled) for those who cannot attend the meeting in person. See the Zoom link below.
The Plan reflects the GPC’s work over the last two years, in collaboration with residents, community organizations and planning partners, to prioritize a broad range of goals for Greensboro’s future and to list specific strategies to achieve those goals.
A copy of the draft 2026 Town Plan can be found on Greensboro Planning Commission tab of the Town Website and scrolling down to “Updates from the GPC”, linked here: GPC Home Page .
Paper copies of the draft Town Plan are available from the Town Clerk’s office during regular office hours.
