The Rutland Regional Planning Commission sadly bids farewell to Senior Planner Tara Kelly. Tara has taken a position as Executive Director of the Rutland Area Farm and Food Link (RAFFL), a group in which she was previously an active board member and volunteer.
During her six years at the Planning Commission, Tara took the lead on many programs, including the Brownfields Program, Emergency Management and the LEPC, the development of a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy for the Region, numerous town plan and zoning updates, and many more projects.
Tara also represented the Commission as Chair of the Rutland Creative Economy, a now-thriving group with four highly active committees.
RAFFL welcomed Tara to their staff at their annual meeting on Monday. RRPC Chair Larry Courcelle, Executive Director Mark Blucher and several staff members were in attendance to wish her well.
Larry writes, “On behalf of The Board of Commissioners, I would like to congratulate Tara Kelly on her new position as Executive Director of RAFFL. Anyone who has had the opportunity to work with Tara knows that she has a talent for translating her knowledge and enthusiasm into a heightened learning experience. We will miss Tara and wish her the best of luck.” Congratulations, Tara!
RAFFL’s annual meeting was well attended by RRPC staff and Chair.
