TOWN OF SPRINGFIELD - NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

In accordance with 24 V.S.A. §§4441, 4444, the Selectboard of the Town of Springfield will hold a public hearing on September 26, 2022 at 6 p.m. at the Town Hall on 56 Main Street in Springfield, VT, to receive comments on proposed amendments to the zoning bylaws.  The purpose of these proposed amendments can be summarized as follows:
