Please note that a section of Browns Trace will be closed for bridge repairs starting July 7th. See the detour route and get updates here. Check the Join in Jericho home page for other road closures and construction happening around town this summer.

Planning Commission:

The PC will not meet on July 1st. The next meeting will take place at 7pm on July 15th. The Planning Commission is pleased to be working with UVM student interns, Finley Selzer and Cam Winter. They will be assisting Town Planner, Chris Shaheen, with projects this summer. Funding for our interns is through a grant from the Leahy Institute for Rural Partnerships.

Mobbs Farm Committee:

Lackey Landworks has completed work on the APPLE TREE TRAIL boardwalk replacement. The old, rotted hemlock treads have been replaced with a multi-use gravel pathway. Feedback from equestrian, mountain bike and pedestrian users has been very positive. Expansion of this treatment will be considered for future boardwalk replacements.

Please be careful when parking at the Mobbs Farm / Browns Trace parking lot as construction vehicles are entering and exiting on a frequent basis, during Town Garage Construction and BT Bridge Replacement this summer.

Town Meeting Reimagined:

At the request of the Jericho Selectboard, the Town Meeting Reimagined Taskforce is setting out to build on the success of the new three-part process for creating and voting on a town budget. Several members of the original taskforce plan to continue and Dave Barrington and Gaye Symington have agreed to continue to serve as co-chairs of the group. The next task force meetings will be on Monday, June 30, July 14th, and Thursday, July 31. All by Zoom and all at 6pm.

We welcome new members who’d like to join the group. We will be working from the set of recommendations the previous task force made to the Selectboard in our final report here. For more information or if you have questions, please reach out to either of the co-chairs, Gaye (gsym@together.net) or Dave (David.Barrington@uvm.edu).
