Poultney Town to Trails
Town to Trails is a community-driven planning process, making Poultney a more vibrant, connected and welcoming place for all. The project looks at how to create:
- Safe, connected linkages from trail networks to Downtown Poultney
- Gateways that create a sense of arrival to the Village
- Street improvements along Main Street and side streets to promote traffic calming, increase safety, and increase beautification
- An inclusive outdoor recreation hub
This grant-funded project has created a plan that will help Poultney secure funding and prioritize projects for the community. Town to Trails has been led by a volunteer Steering Committee with members from other Poultney boards, committees and organizations. The final report was issued in September 2023.

Poultney’s 2002 Streetscape Improvement Plan
Between 2001 and 2002, members of the community, then the “Downtown Redevelopment Committee,” partnered with the VT Department of Development and Community Affairs, engineers and planners from Guertin-Elkerton Associates and landscape architects from the Office of Robert A. White, ASLA, to conduct a detailed assessment and generate goals and objectives for Main Street and Downtown Improvements in Poultney.
Funded by a Vermont Municipal Planning Grant, the study analyzed current conditions, provided for numerous community meetings to solicit public input, and concluded with a Final Report teeming with photographs, maps, conceptual illustrations and new ideas.
It was this project that kick-started the Poultney Downtown Revitalization Committee, and served as our application for Designation to the State.
