The next monthly meeting of the West Brattleboro Association (WBA) will be held at the New England House
on Thursday, May 8th at 6:00 PM. The guests are Pat Moulton Powden and Laura Sibilia of the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation/BDCC and the Southeast Vermont Economic Development Strategies/SeVEDS. Their discussion will likely focus on the recently published regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy/CEDS plan.
Also at this monthly meeting, the group will discuss the recent Green-Up Day on May 3rd,
the treasurer’s report and several ongoing projects included in the WBA’s 2014 internal planning document. A main focus will be on the upcoming semi-annual Chicken Barbecue sponsored by WBA on May 24th, the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. It will be held once again in the front of the West Brattleboro Congregational Church.
The WBA is still planning to have signs made for entry to West Brattleboro, both from the east and west. Ways
to raise the remaining money will be discussed. Another topic getting some attention from the WBA is the town budget and, in particular, its impact on plans for the West Brattleboro Fire Station.
Next month’s meeting on Thursday, June 12th will feature a visit by Vermont State Representative Mollie Burke who will address issues pertaining to transportation as it relates to West Brattleboro.
The purpose of the Association is to promote the thoughtful and effective evolution of the community of West Brattleboro as a place that is safe, healthy, attractive, and prosperous. In the case of the March meeting, the goal is to help West B residents be informed Brattleboro community members. Check out the group’s website at www.westbrattleboro.org or join us at our meetings. They’re open to all residents and business owners.
