1043 Redmond Rd, Williston, VT 05495

Industrial East District

This zoning district was originally created for IBM’s Williston facility. The 2006 Town Plan expanded it to include lands owned by the Chittenden Solid Waste District and VELCO. This zoning district is intended to accommodate uses related to computer and electronic equipment design and manufacturing, technology development and utilization businesses, offices of technology and business services that do not generate customer traffic, solid waste disposal, and utilities in the area that is accessible from Redmond Road in north-central Williston. IBM and their successor’s operations in this zoning district have typically included data management, micro chip design, and office functions in support of manufacturing functions, including those located across the Winooski River in Essex Junction in a campus type setting. In recent years, owners of these lands have leases space in their existing buildings in this zone to other tenants who require office facilities within a business campus type setting. This zoning district may also be home to a future public works facility and a park built on the reclaimed landfill.
