Advisory Committee
The Richmond Transportation Committee served as the Advisory Committee at the outset of this study, but this role has since been taken up by the Richmond Selectboard. The role of the Advisory Committee is to represent a range of perspectives; review study materials and provide feedback; communicate with and provide updates to boards/constituents; and participate in developing the purpose and need statement, alternatives, and recommendations. Ultimately, the Town Selectboard will consider and endorse the final recommendations of the Study.
Members of the public are welcome to attend Advisory Committee meetings with the understanding that there may be limited opportunity for public input so that the Advisory Committee can carry out their business. Meeting information will be posted here when scheduled.
