Proposed Bylaw Amendment: Town Garage & Maintenance Facility

The Town of Jericho (Town) is considering amending its Land Use and Development Regulations to include “Town Garage/Maintenance Facility” as a conditional use in the Open Space District.

The Town’s existing garage and maintenance facility is in an Open Space zone where Municipal Facilities are not permitted. The Town completed a Highway Garage Feasibility Study that found multiple issues with the structure, functional deficiencies, and system failures. The Select Board accepted the findings that a new maintenance facility would be at the existing site. In March 2024, residents of Jericho voted to approve a $4.15 million bond for a new maintenance facility.

The purpose of the amendments is to allow the Town to continue providing adequate public services in an expanded and modern facility at its current location.

More information on proposed amendments are posted in the Planning Commission's presentation from their November 19th, 2024 meeting here. If you have questions about the proposed amendments, contact Chris Shaheen, Town Planner, at cshaheen@jerichovt.gov or (802) 899-2287 x 103.
