Hinesburg residents consider new town vision By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com HINESBURG — Times, they are a changin’ in Hinesburg. Residents are considering a number of construction and expansion projects around town; some folks are pleased with the changes, others are not. Alex Weinhagen, the town’s director of planning & zoning, sees the glass as more than half full. Many of the changes will improve the town’s quality of life, he said. On Feb. 11 at the Hinesburg Town Office, town residents were able to look at the future of Hinesburg’s village area in 3-D. The village visualization presentation and community forum was the culmination of a nine-month project by the Hinesburg Village Steering Committee. “The VSC has been working with consultants T.J. Boyle Associates and funding from the town and from a taxpayer-funded Vermont Municipal Planning Grant. At the forum, project consultants will show maps and 3-D imagery, renderings of buildings, streetscapes, and green spaces of likely future development,” according to Weinhagen.

New Addison-3 state rep on the job By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com
Warren Van Wyck
FERRISBURGH — Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) appointed Rep. Warren Van Wyck (R) of Ferrisburgh to serve out the unexpired term of late Rep. Greg Clark in the Addison-3 District. Van Wyck was sworn in Jan. 8 and immediately set to work getting familiar with his various duties in the capitol. Last week, Van Wyck expressed his firm commitment to honoring the legacy of Clark and to “faithfully serving the people of Addison, Ferrisburgh, Panton, Vergennes, and Waltham.” Van Wyck said he is getting up to speed quickly after the appointment. “Previously I had been pleased and encouraged to be selected by fellow party members to be one of those recommended on Jan. 17, and also to receive community support via letters to the governor's office,” he told the Eagle. ”Of much significance and encouragement to me, was the endorsement of Eileen Clark, who I had never talked to or met before Jan. 22." The new legislator also thanked Gov. Shumlin for the appointment. “That the governor selected me as ‘a qualified person to fill the vacancy for the remaining portion of the term’ is the most important and significant support. I am thankful to him for appointing me to fill the vacancy. Certainly I can not replace Rep. Greg Clark, yet, I’ll strive to honor his legacy, his party commitments and concerns of the voters of this district.” Van Wyck said he is looking forward to meeting more residents of the district in the coming weeks, learning about their needs, serving the constituents of the district and honoring his constitutional oath.
