Urban Development Areas (UDAs) Grant

The Town of Vinton has been awarded a second technical assistance grant from the Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment (OIPI). The purpose of this grant will be to revise Town codes (zoning and subdivision) for the UDAs that have been identified in the Town. Relevant topics to this process include adequate water and sewer, connections to the transportation network, and regulations that allow for Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND). OIPI has contracted with consulting firms Rhodeside and Harwell and EPR_PC to assist the Town with the revisions.

If you are a property owner, business owner, or a resident of the Town of Vinton who would like to attend future meetings and help us shape Vinton's future, please email your name, address, business name (if applicable), and phone number(s).
