Rural District
The Rural District encompasses land primarily in the western, upland portion of Brattleboro, which features large tracts of undeveloped woodlands, working farmland and very-low density residential development. This land is not served by municipal water and sewer or by roads that are capable of accommodating heavy traffic, and extending or upgrading infrastructure in this district is strongly discouraged. The purpose of this district is to protect these remote and relatively inaccessible rural lands from fragmentation, development and undue environmental disturbance by maintaining a very low-density settlement pattern and large tracts of working lands or natural areas in accordance with the policies of the Brattleboro Town Plan.
