Headline: Lamoille Valley Rail Trail Assessment Report: In April 2008, the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers completed a comprehensive engineering assessment of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. The assessment provides detailed information about the condition of the trail and the extent of repairs that will be needed to build the trail. The assessment also proposes a process for trail construction.

The Johnson Telecommunications Committee would like to thank Johnson voters for supporting the fiber optic broadband article at Town Meeting. As the next step, the Johnson Telecommunications Committee and the Lamoille County Planning Commission are working on forming a regional alliance of municipalities that will be big enough to carry the project forward.  Preparations for organizing a larger regional entity have already begun and our first “official” meeting will be in April. Please let us know if you would like to be actively involved. More info: Lea Kilvadyova, lkilvadyova@townofjohnson.com
