Future Work
A web project like this is never complete, and itself leads to many future
projects. We think the following would be useful extensions of the work
we have conducted so far:
- Use the information on past development trends and the town's zoning
ordinances to do a build-out analysis of the town. This will allow residents
to see whether projections of what the town could look like in the future
match what the vision laid out in the town plan.
- Develop a Natural Resource Atlas for Middlebury to allow easy access
for everyone to information on the location of important natural features
within the town's boundaries.
- Extend the analyses shown here for the developed portion of the town
to illustrate changes in the amount of forestland and agricultural land.
- Show a detailed analysis of changes within one or more specific residential
developments.
- Develop specific educational activities that would make this web site
more useful to students in primary and secondary schools.
