The Town of Shrewsbury is a hilly and mountainous town located in Rutland County, Vermont, and is home to an uncrowded and tranquil social community. Shrewsbury’s unique and special character stems from its historically rural and village settlement pattern and the natural beauty of its mountain setting containing large areas of wooded and open land, wetlands, and upland waterways. Shrewsbury’s residents’ strong community spirit kindles a sense of affection, civic responsibility and loyalty, and a shared commitment to the Town’s well-being.

On Saturday April 27th from 3-5 PM, the Shrewsbury Planning Commission invites all townspeople to the Community Meeting House to identify your most valued places in Shrewsbury. We will provide large paper maps and color markers. We need you to make your marks on the Shrewsbury map!
The results from the information gathered will be compiled digitally. The resulting maps will present a visual picture of what areas in Town are valued and why. When we overlap the digital images, the maps can show us where our most important places coincide and are complimentary and where they coincide and are conflicting. The information gathered will allow the priorities of the community to inform our future Town Plan.
The CCC Road was damaged during the recent flood event making it unsafe for vehicle travel. The gates have been closed on both the North Shrewsbury and Route 100 ends. At this time we are still assessing damage to state lands infrastructure and do not yet have a timeline for repair.
