§ 17-1. Purpose

Latest version.

In accordance with 24 V.S.A. section 2291(16) and 24 V.S.A. section 4421 the board of selectmen of the Town of Colchester hereby establish the following chapter regarding street naming and street addressing. The purpose for this chapter is to help establish a more uniform street naming and street addressing system throughout the Town of Colchester. We believe that easily locatable addresses will have a number of beneficial results:

(1) It will enable emergency services to arrive at a scene faster.

(2) Deliveries will be easier to find.

(3) The U.S. Postal Service will soon stop rural route deliveries and require a street address.

(4) Visitors to our town will be able to find an address and know where they are in case of emergency.

(5) When the State of Vermont begins Enhanced 9-1-1 the Town of Colchester will be ready for it.
