Overview
The Development Review Board (DRB) conducts public hearings and renders decisions on development applications subject to the Town of Georgia Development Regulations. The Development Review Board fulfills the statutory role of an “appropriate municipal panel” as defined by the State’s Planning Statute in 24 VSA 117. The Board is compromised of resident volunteers appointed by the Selectboard.
Meetings
The board meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM on an as-needed basis.
Development Review Board meetings are being held both in person at the Town of Georgia Offices and virtually using Zoom. Zoom is free to the public and does not require registration or login.

Off-the-Record Communication
Please note that the public may not speak with a DRB member about the substantive content of a pending application outside of a hearing. Off-the-record (Ex Parte) communication is prohibited because it is an opportunity for one party to influence a decision-maker outside the presence of other parties. When rights are at stake, this is a violation of due process, protected by the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
