The Rutland Regional Plan

A Vision For The Future

A cornerstone of our work is the Regional Plan — Document written by RRPC with input from our board.

The plan articulates a vision for the Rutland region. It’s a valuable instrument that holistically guides growth and captures trends. The purpose of the Rutland Regional Plan is to provide a guide for managing change within the Region and a framework within which individuals, businesses, and local governments can make decisions regarding growth and development.

We are hard at work updating sections of the plan and keeping a pulse on laws and rulings that impact the plan’s governing strength.
