What our Neighbors are Saying!

The threat of destruction to natural resources is ongoing in South Burlington. But, without a doubt, neighbors can make a difference! If residents stay involved and make their voices heard, we can effect change and save our environment.

The rate of development in South Burlington over the past few decades is unsustainable. Build out of our open spaces at the current pace might incrementally and temporarily add a small amount of more affordable housing for a few. But it won’t solve the fundamental income/expense imbalance for most … To address the real issues behind lack of affordability, we as citizens must support federal, state, and local policies to provide more equal access to all basic needs … Those of us who care deeply about preserving our environment and natural world are not selfishly protecting our own or neighborhood self-interest. We are trying to leave vital and irreplaceable resources for current and future benefit to all.
