Royalton buyout improvement survey

The Royalton Buyout Committee (Committee) invites you to provide feedback on potential improvements to the four FEMA buyout sites in Royalton by completing the following survey. The Committee also invites you to attend a public meeting on Wednesday, September 17 from 6-8pm at the Royalton Academy Building (4266 VT Route 14) to learn more about the Royalton buyout sites and the process involved in designing and constructing site improvements.
