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.

- Following from last year's topic-focused community discussions at the Ward 5 NPA, we want to lay the groundwork for an upcoming meeting centered on Burlington's housing shortage and its impact on Ward 5 residents. This is a brainstorming session for us to hear what's on your mind about housing, and will help the steering community plan a bigger meeting on the topic later in the year. Bring your stories, questions, and ideas about housing!
