PUBLIC NOTICE
PLASTIC BAG ORDINANCE
Town of Wilmington, Vermont
The Wilmington Plastic Bag Ordinance was adopted by the Selectboard on December 18, 2018. It will take effect on July 1, 2019, unless a petition signed by at least five percent of the voters of Wilmington is filed with the town clerk by January 31, 2019, asking for a vote to disapprove the ordinance. If a petition is received, the Wilmington Selectboard will warn a special meeting and the voters may vote on that question.
