Middlebury Transit-Oriented Development – Public Presentation

 

The Town of Middlebury is working with consultant TPUDC to explore transit-oriented development potential here in Middlebury, including take a look at the development potential of several large parcels in the vicinity of the Amtrak Rail platform downtown.

This planning exercise will move us closer to the goal of adding more compact multi-story mixed-use development in the downtown area, walkable to services and transit! Public input is being sought as the consultant starts the process of creating of:
– an illustrative master plan for the area, and
– draft municipal bylaws making it easier to accommodate these more urban-style forms of development in areas central to downtown, using character districts calibrated to produce context-sensitive designs.

Sheldon Museum: Simple Astonishment, A Community Conversation on a Changing Climate

 

A conversation between Megan Mayhew Bergman, Cindy Hill, Caleb Kenna and Jon Mingle, moderated by writer and educator Liza Cochran, about the role of the arts and humanities in shaping our connection to the climate crisis. The second hour will engage participants in what poet Jane Hirshfield calls finding “simple astonishment,” and the curative power of creating art as we face the crisis of our lifetime. In small groups, participants will be guided through a close observation and reflection in response to selected images from the Sheldon’s archives and modern images from photographer Caleb Kenna.
