Lunenburg/Gilman To Seek Town Center Designation

LUNENBURG AND GILMAN EXPLORING VILLAGE CENTER DESIGNATION

Now that the Municipal Plan has been adopted, our next step in the process is to seek Village Center Designation for both Lunenburg and Gilman. Having this designation opens our communities up to a variety of benefits including tax credits, training and technical assistance, priority consideration for various state and regional grants; and eligibility for Better Places grants.

The first step in the process is to have representatives from the Agency visit both Lunenburg and Gilman to tour the Village centers and begin the process. That meeting has been scheduled for Friday, March 8th at 1pm. We'll start by meeting at the Select Board office in the Town Building in Lunenburg and then continue with a walk around of the area that will qualify for Village Center Designation. We expect this to take a couple hours.

We will then move to Gilman, meeting at the Senior Center, and begin our walk through from there. We should be wrapped up by 4 pm. Any members of the community are welcome to join this meeting.

We will not be making any decisions on the actual defined area of the Village Center at this meeting, but this site visit will help us define that area as we work through the application process.
