Shelburne Falls Village Summit

Follow-up to Shelburne Falls Village Summit

As recommended in the Village of Shelburne Falls Rapid Recovery Plan created last fall, the Shelburne Falls Village Summit was held on February 1st over Zoom. The purpose of the Summit was to discuss ideas to help sustain a vibrant Shelburne Falls Village Center with a thriving business community. The current focus is on what can be achieved within the next 12-18 months regarding communication, events & activities, and the potential for creating a volunteer Village Task Force to move things forward in the short term. The presentation slides from the Summit can be viewed at: https://frcog.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/02.01.2022_ShelFalls_Village_Summit_slides.pdf.
