Town of Elmore, Vermont

The Downtown Development Board approved Elmore's application to have the village designated a Village Center. Village Center designation supports the revitalization efforts of small and medium-sized historic centers. The designation brings financial incentives, training, and technical assistance needed to attract new business and vitality to Vermont’s smaller communities.

Following are some links to further explain what the designation means for Elmore:

• Downtown and Village Center Funding Directory - A comprehensive list of state, federal and nonprofit funding sources to support village center revitalization efforts.
• Strong Communities Newsletter – A quarterly newsletter from the Department of Housing and Community Development with news on new programs and grant opportunities. Subscribe here.
• Vermont Planning Atlas - An easy-to-use tool that provides access to commonly requested data - the status of local planning and regulations, designation boundaries, and more.
• Vermont Planning Manual –  The Planning Manual offers up-to-date guidance on preparing municipal plans, as well as an overview of the state designation programs, and their benefits.
• Neighborhood Development Area Designation – An add-on housing designation program that helps reduce the time and cost of state permitting in areas within a ¼ mile walking distance of a designated village center.
