Click for ROW and Emerald Ash Borer Update
Our ROW crews will be working throughout our service territory of 41 towns now and into the fall. We make every effort to inform members of ROW cutting ahead of time, but we cannot guarantee prior notification due to our crews' rapidly changing schedules.
Questions or concerns? Contact our Right-Of-Way Coordinator Larry Gilbert at 802-224-2339.
