The mission of the Elmore Community Trust is to care for places that make Elmore special and to attract businsses, organizations, and residents that positively contribute to our vibrant rural community. The Elmore Community Trust (ECT) was recently founded by a group of Elmore residents working in partnership with Preservation Trust of Vermont. Using a community supported enterprise model that has proven successful, ECT's first and most pressing project is The Elmore Store. Visit the Elmore Community Trust's webpage to learn more.

Any vehicle parked in the highway right of way, which is 25 feet from the center of the road, and is interfering with the maintenance of the roads, will be towed away at the owner's expense. Those who do winter plowing are asked to not leave snow on the Town Roads. This presents a hazard to motorists. Any fences within said right of way are in danger of damage during the snow plowing season. Thank you for your cooperation!
