The Village project team will be forming a petition within the next 2 weeks. The answers to the questions that the Selectboard/Town Manager asked have been submitted in writing and are on record on their 4/26th Selectbard meeting agenda. Volunteers to gather signatures are needed. Please contact g.pezzo at [email protected]. This is the preliminary step to begin the process of forming an incorporated village. Nothing will move forward without the support of a strong majority of the registered voters that reside in Westbury Co-op. Any Westbury residents wanting to opt-out, don’t want to participate or be contacted regarding this petition or anything village related, the team is working on an method for this to be respected and accomplished. Updates for the project will be posted on the Village Project Facebook page regularly or you can contact g.pezzo at [email protected] for information and updates. There are voter registration forms located in the mailroom. If you are not yet a registered voter just fill it out and drop it in the office mail slot. For your convenience one of our team members will submit them to the Town.

The Rule Enforcement Committee continues to do drive thru’s alongside PMA once a month to record resolutions to violation notices sent as well as record any new violations. PMA performs the drive-thrus independently throughout the rest of the month. You can view the violation policy in the document section of this website. Violations are noted if they do not comply with the community rules which can also be found in the document section of this website. If the violation is not resolved after receiving the scheduled notices, legal involvement will occur at the expense of the homeowner. Thank you all for your cooperation.
There was an item on the Board meeting agenda regarding the issue about boundary and stakes for each lot. Westbury lots do not have specific border or boundary lines. The stakes that some lots may have serve no purpose. Each lot is different in size and shape and each lot infrastructure contains a different path for utilities, secondary electric, water pipes, septic/leach field drainage etc. A Home/Lot improvement request must be submitted and Dig Safe (811) is required to be called for any projects involving disruption of the soil, however Dig Safe will only identify the Cable & GMP electric service lines. Residents must submit a home/lot improvement request so that PMA/Home Lot Improvement committee can inspect your request for location & safety of the infrastructure for your project as well as town compliance regarding permitting. The town will not accept any applications that do not include an authorized signature from Westbury.
Enjoy the Warm Weather!
