Development Review Board To Review Conceptual Plans Tuesday, April 28
The central purpose of the meeting is to have a dialogue with the Williston Development Review Board about the overall concept of the new campus and buildings. No permit is granted — nor are any final decisions made — at this meeting. The board will acknowledge and comment on what has been developed to date. This will help to inform the church as it prepares for the Discretionary Hearing, estimated to occur in early to mid-summer.
“The Tuesday meeting is referred to as a “pre-application hearing,” explained Jeff Kolok, Chair of the Building Committee.
The church has purchased 55 acres just off Route 2A behind the Vermont Employees State Credit Union and has been working on plans for the site for the past two years. Please keep church leadership and the process in your prayers as we take this important step.
