ABOUT
VAPDA is devoted to sound planning principles that will enhance the quality of life for Vermont residents. Through a combination of environmental and economic planning strategies, VAPDA fosters a community environment that provides for the needs of both residents and our natural surroundings, today and for generations to come.
Chapter 117 of Title 24 in the Vermont Statutes Annotated, the Vermont Planning and Development Act, governs municipal planning and land use regulations as well as guides the supportive role that your Regional Planning Commissions - the members of VAPDA - are to fulfill as they work with municipalities to plan for and further municipal and State level goals.
