Dated at Town of Weathersfield, Windsor County, State of Vermont, this 22nd day of July, 2014 N. John Arrison, Chairperson ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT draft approved by the Weathersfield Planning Commission The Town of Weathersfield seeks new economic development for the purposes of · serving local residents, · encouraging local food production · providing local employment and · helping to broaden the tax base PRESENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Historically agriculture and mills were the basis of Weathersfield’s local economy. As a small rural town today, Weathersfield relies significantly on jobs located in other towns. Local economic activities currently include home occupations, small stores, restaurants, contractors, gasoline/service stations, professional offices, offices, campgrounds, forestry, small scale agriculture, town government, and the Weathersfield School. Most commercial activities are concentrated in Ascutney along Routes 131 and 5. There is a secondary concentration of activity at Downers Four Corners. A 2012 inventory of businesses in town shows that there are 105 businesses, 37 of which are home- based businesses and 8 are farm or agricultural-related. TYPE OF DESIRED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Weathersfielders have consistently expressed their desire to remain a rural community and to ensure that all forms of development retain or contribute to that desire. Of particular value to townspeople are home-based businesses and small-scaled businesses that do not detract from the Town’s natural beauty or rural character. Townspeople are averse to high density, high-traffic commercial developments and types of commercial development that lead to increased crime rates and decreased property values. The type of economic development and its social and aesthetic impact is of primary concern to the Town, both as individuals and as a municipality. Weathersfield also has valuable resources whose contribution to economic well-being is not always as obvious as a new business along a highway such as: 1) Village centers; 2) A diverse agricultural community that is answering the ever-growing demand for locally produced agricultural products, including cheese and wine making, specialty orchards and Christmas trees; 3) Water bodies, such as the Connecticut River, Stoughton Pond, North Springfield Reservoir and the Army Corps of Engineers Flood Control Area, all providing the means for water-based recreation and the businesses that support them; 4) Natural resources including Mt. Ascutney, the town forests, and the Springweather Nature Area for hunting, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, wildlife observation; 5) Scenic roads for walking and biking. The Town encourages development of appropriately-scaled renewable energy resources, both as economic development and as a benefit to the town’s energy consumers. LOCATION OF DESIRED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Home businesses are the most desired type of economic development in the Town. These should be allowed wherever residential development currently exists or wherever it is appropriate for new residential development to be located. Additional economic development should be encouraged in Page 1 of 2 the village centers, Downer’s Corners and in the I-91 interchange corridor. SCALE OF DESIRED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Townspeople prefer to keep business at a scale that is appropriate for the Town. Home-based businesses were of the utmost importance to the participants of the Planning Commission’s 2010 public outreach meetings and perhaps best capture the concept of “appropriate scale”. POLICIES ON ECONOMIC GROWTH 1. The Town shall strive to foster economic growth in the community through the support and encouragement of home-based businesses and those that are appropriate in scale to the rural character of the Town. 2. The Town also values agriculture as both a source of local food that is integral to food security and as an important economic driver, and strives to protect, preserve, and expand existing agricultural businesses and lands. Thus the Town shall: a. Conserve the land and other environmental resources critical to the long-term success of the local agricultural economy; b. Encourage the local agricultural sector and its capacity to respond to market trends in agriculture; c. Build public support for the community’s farms and farmers; d. Promote, protect and assist agriculture as a functional sector of the local economy; e. Promote agri-tourism. 3. Because of the natural beauty and abundant resources for outside activity, the Town shall seek ways to promote recreational tourism. 4. The Town shall protect the village character by limiting the location and density of businesses that sell products that cannot be sold to minors. 5. Economic development in the Exit 8 interchange corridor shall be consistent with the goals of the I-91 Exit 8 Interchange Master Plan dated April 11, 2008 (refer to Future Land Use map). PROJECTS TO FOSTER ECONOMIC GROWTH 1. Develop an inventory of resources that are available and attractive to economic development and match it with businesses most likely to desire those resources. 2. Conduct comprehensive feasibility studies, including technical, political, and economic dimensions, to determine the costs and benefits of community infrastructure in the village centers. 3. Develop and publicize recreational opportunities such as bike paths, bike lanes and hiking trails in town to various points and use them to stimulate bike-related or camp-related economic activity. 4. Support propagation of high-speed internet services throughout the town. PROGRAMS TO FOSTER ECONOMIC GROWTH 1. State-wide business programs such as the Small Business Administration and other free resources are available to assist local and small businesses. Page 2 of 2 Weathersfield Planning Commission Report on the Revisions to the Economic Development Chapter (A chapter Amendment to the Weathersfield Town Plan) This report is in accordance with 24 V.S.A. §4384(c) which states: “When considering an amendment to a plan, the planning commission shall prepare a written report on the proposal. The report shall address the extent to which the plan, as amended, is consistent with the goals established in §4302 of this title. General Goals of 24 V.S.A. §4302(b): To establish a coordinated, comprehensive planning process and policy framework to guide decisions by municipalities, regional planning commissions, and state agencies. Weathersfield has a well-established planning process and policy framework, which is supported with the help of the Select Board, the Planning Commission, the Conservation Commission, other municipal boards and commissions, Town staff, and committed community members and residents. To encourage citizen participation at all levels of the planning process, and to assure that decisions shall be made at the most local level possible commensurate with their impact. This Plan amendment is the direct result of the Planning Commission revising the chapter based on substantial community participation. The Planning Commission sought community input early in the Plan revision process through a town-wide mail survey to all residents. The Planning Commission also held a series of five public outreach meetings in the four “corners” and the “center” of the community to seek additional input to the Plan. In addition, all Planning Commission meetings are open to the public. Specific Goals of 24 V.S.A. §4302(c): To provide a strong and diverse economy that provides satisfying and rewarding job opportunities and that maintains high environmental standards, and to expand economic opportunities in areas with high unemployment or low per capita incomes. This Economic Development chapter recognizes the reality that large-scale business and industry is highly unlikely to locate in Weathersfield. It also focuses on home-based business as the most desired form of economic development identified by participants in the Planning Commission’s public outreach forums. The plan also expresses the Town’s strong desire to maintain its rural character and appearance, and calls for economic development in a scale that will maintain these values. Finally, the plan attempts to preserve the vitality and integrity of our village centers by ensuring that economic development in these areas compliments (rather than detracts) from our historic village centers. If the proposal would alter the designation of any land area, the report should cover the following points: The Economic Development chapter does not call for the alteration of any

  • MAJOR HILKIAH GROUT of WEATHERSFIELD, VERMONT by HELEN B
    MAJOR HILKIAH GROUT OF WEATHERSFIELD, VERMONT By HELEN B. OsGooo AJOR HILKIAH Grout1 of Weathersfield, Vermont, who was born M July 23, 1728, in Lunenburg, Massachusetts,2 was a fourth generation grandson of Richard Groutt of Walton, County Derby, England, who, on May 28, 1586, in the twenty-ninth year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth was knighted and given the title of Sir Richard Grout Esq., and was certified to be a descendant of an ancient and honorable family of that name in the west of England. 3 Captain John Grout of Watertown and Sudbury 1640, and William Grout of Charlestown, Massachusetts 166 5, were the sons of Sir Richard Grout above referred to.4 A tradition has descended, with a copy of his will, that a father by the name of Grout, with two sons, fled to this country from Cornwall upon the breaking out of the plague epidemic, and died soon after, leaving two sons in their minority with claims to an estate in England which was never prose­ cuted. From this it has been calculated that they came at seventeen or eighteen years of age. When and where these orphans completed their minority is not certain, but when John was 68 years of age he testified, under oath, before Governor Simon Bradstreet, that he had been closely associated with Governor Winthrop, and his deposition at that time, attentively considered, renders it possible that John might have been taken into the family of Governor Winthrop, where he attracted attention and secured the confidence of the Governor and his family.
