“For over fifty years, the Rutland Regional Planning Commission has given the Town of Tinmouth hours of expert attention, helping write its original town plan, zoning regulations, subdivision regs, and grant applications, all at a high level of competence. Their personnel are always ready to go the extra mile, spend the extra time to make a project come out the way it should. On a personal level, the staff is friendly and imaginative – a pleasure to work with. It has been exciting to watch RRPC’s growth over the past few years as it becomes a real force for good government in the region. The diversity of the staff’s skills is amazing. The twenty-five years of my collaboration with RRPC has been one of the great pleasures of my life.”

“The RRPC has been an crucial partner to Poultney during a time of significant change.  In recent years, the staff at RRPC has had considerable foresight in visioning a new future for the community by identifying key needs such as increased capacity in town government, prioritizing economic development, providing expertise for town plan updates and zoning amendments, and remaining dedicated to implementing the community’s vision for its future.  Thanks to all at the RRPC!”

“Over the past few years, the town of Killington has worked closely with the Rutland Regional Planning Commission (RRPC) on a variety of planning initiatives and projects including updating the Town’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, updating  the Town Plan and updating the Town’s Zoning Bylaw. On all of these projects, RRPC staff has been very professional, easy to work with and instrumental in having the town complete each of these tasks on time and within budget. Steffanie Bourque has been especially excellent to work with. She helped the town  update its  Hazard Mitigation Plan which was not an easy process and is now working with the Town on a Bike Ped Connectivity Study. The RRPC has been a great partner and we look forward to working with them on many more projects.”

“The Rutland Regional Planning Commission is a tremendous and collaborative partner with State of Vermont and the Agency of Commerce and Community Development.  The RRPC staff provide excellent support and meaningful capacity in serving the region’s small towns and villages, from assisting with village center designation to help revive village life, to supporting towns on updating their town plans and zoning bylaws to increase economic development and housing opportunities, to working on deeper community development and planning initiatives through the Better Connections program to make communities transportation and recreation infrastructure more accessible, safe, and vibrant.  Rutland County is fortunate to have the RRPC leading the way and serving its small towns and local leaders in planning and developing for a brighter future!”
