Regional Planning
Regional Planning is guided by an overall vision or concept of what makes a place great? It is an expression of possibility; it reflects what people want to see happen in their community; now and in the future. The purpose of the Rutland Regional Plan is to provide a guide for managing change within the Region and a framework within which individuals, businesses, and local governments can make decisions regarding land use areas planned for conservation or growth.

Help Shape the Future of the Region
The Rutland Regional Plan is a collaborative guide to shape a healthy, equitable, and resilient region.
The final document will outline strategies for achieving our collective goal as it relates to coordinated and efficient community economic development. At the center of this effort is an analysis of present land uses and identification of areas for proposed growth and conservation.
Community input is where you come in – to learn about the plan development process, view plan summaries and drafts, and find opportunities for public engagement please visit the Plan 2026 Webpage.
Regional Committee Review
RRPC Commissioners play an important role in the review of large-scale development projects.
Regional planning commissions have a duty to provide comment on regionally significant projects, that because of size, location, or type of development require an Act 250 (land use) or Section 248 (energy generation) permit.
The RRPC Regional Committee reviews all applications for conformance with the Rutland Regional Plan and provide comments to the Act 250 Commission or Public Utility Commission.
