The Burlington Legacy Project: Partnering for a Sustainable Future

The Legacy Project is a partnership effort aimed to bring the Legacy Action Plan, Burlington’s vision for sustainability in 2030, to life. The Plan, reflective of input from hundreds of community members, is based on six major themes:

Economy

Neighborhoods

Governance

Youth, Education & Lifelong Learning

Environment

Diversity & Equity

Peter Clavelle Award

Do you know a great community leader who deserves recognition for his/her hard work?

Each year, the Burlington Legacy Project awards one person who has contributed to our community. Nominations are due March 15th, 2012. Please click here for more information on the nomination process.

Share Your Vision

Sustainability. It means something different to everyone. What does it mean to you?

A job that pays the bills, a house or apartment you can afford, a neighborhood that feels like home, transportation that works for you, a clean environment, affordable health care, an education that prepares you for a job and a way to participate in the world, open government, and a diverse and equitable city — these are the things the Legacy Project cares about.

Tell us what you care about!

1. Imagine that Burlington 20 years from now is a great place to live, work & play and raise a family. What does that look like? What does that mean to you? (Describe your vision, hopes & dreams for the future.)

2. What specific actions or steps do we need to take to bring that vision to life?

3. Areas of focus for the Legacy Plan include: jobs, housing & neighborhoods, transportation, environment, health, education, open government, diversity and equity. Which of these is also important to your vision for the future & why? Are there specific actions we can take to address any of these or are there relevant options or concerns we should consider?

ECOS Partnership

The Burlington Legacy Project is a partner in the Chittenden Regional Planning Commission’s ECOS Project. ECOS stands for Environment, Community, Opportunity and Sustainability. The project is funded by a $1 million grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Sustainable Communities Project. Over a three year span, ECOS will work on community development and will also initiate sustainable practices in our community. With the support of ECOS, we will update the Legacy Plan. The goals of ECOS are to improve the following areas: Built Environment, Economy, Energy and Telecommunications, Environmental Systems and Natural Resources, and Social Community.
