About the NPA
Neighborhood Planning Assemblies are grassroots organizations in each of Burlington, Vermont’s eight Wards that encourage resident participation in City government. These assemblies serve as advocacy groups, improving communication between residents and City government through regular monthly meetings held in each Ward.
Ward 5 covers the Western/Lake Champlain side of the South End—south of King Street, west of Saint Paul Street and Shelburne Road.
Please join us on the 3rd Thursday of each month for Ward 5's NPA meeting, starting with a free community dinner at 6:30 PM.
