Waitsfield Growth Center Initiative
Excerpt from
the Waitsfield Town Plan (2005):
The Irasville Village District has served as Waitsfield’s principal
growth center for nearly 30 years. Centrally located
in the Mad River Valley at the crossroads of Routes 100 and 17,
Irasville is the result of farsighted land use policies and public
and private investment initiated in the 1970s and continuing through
today. Encompassing approximately 190 acres—Irasville was
envisioned as a compact, mixed use village serving the commercial,
cultural and housing needs of the Mad River Valley. Nearly
200,000 square feet of mixed-commercial space, over 80 residential
dwellings, and several recreation facilities have been constructed
in Irasville since it was first designated as a growth center.
Irasville not only serves Waitsfield residents—the neighboring
towns of Fayston, Moretown and Warren all recognize Irasville
as their communities’ “downtown” in their respective town plans.
This function as the Valley’s downtown has been supported
with strategic infrastructure improvements, including road construction
to establish a partial grid street network, and sidewalk construction
to provide pedestrian access within Irasville and a pedestrian
connection to historic Waitsfield Village. The lack of community
wastewater or
water systems, however, coupled with the lack of integrated
stormwater management, have resulted in a fragmented development
pattern and limited capacity to accommodate anticipated growth
pressure.
