Town of Verona Weekly Update November 22nd 2021

The Town is proud to partner with Dane County, the City of Verona and the City of Madison on the preservation of a beautiful conservation parcel within the Town, located on Woods Road.  More information on this project can be found here. 

NRAC will be meeting on Tuesday the 23rd at 6:30 in the Town Hall.  The Committee is hosting a guest speaker from the Dane County Planning and Development Office and the topic will be Dane County’s Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program, a program which allows willing landowners to trade potential development rights.  Twelve Towns in Dane County currently have such transfer policies. The presentation is meant to be informational, both for the committee and for any members of the public who wish to attend.  It is part of the NRAC task to investigate the possibility of having a Town program to help willing landowners protect their land with conservation easements and/or development rights transfers and purchases.  No decision to implement a Town program will be made at this meeting, as the NRAC purpose is to collect information and provide recommendations to the Town Board, and other speakers are planned as part of the process. Members of the public who wish to make comments or ask questions can do so during the public comments period at the beginning of the meeting. The meeting agenda can be found here. 

The Town office will be closing at noon on Wednesday November 24th, and will be closed on both Thursday and Friday for the holiday.  Happy Thanksgiving!
