The South Burlington Public Art Gallery is pleased to present the South Burlington School District Art Teachers Exhibition from mid-October to December 2023:
This show will focus on the artists who instruct our K–12 students in the South Burlington School District. So often the work of these artists takes a backseat to their teaching duties. They are excited to share their personal artistic accomplishments with the City and with visitors to City Hall.
The Gallery is accessible during building open hours:

8:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. |

Permitting and Construction
Construction is underway at 224 Market Street, 268 Market Street, and 339 Garden Street. These three new buildings will fill the northeast block between City Hall and Garden Street. These new properties will include 161 new homes for our neighbors and 22,675 square feet of first floor commercial space. This development includes new plaza space and a new 21-foot wide sidewalk that will enable future commercial space to activate the sidewalk. This first-story commercial space – with regularly-spaced doors along Market Street – is part of the Form Based Code Zoning that was put into place to create a designated heart of the downtown.
Construction is also underway at 112 Garden Street. This is the building you see under construction as you turn off Dorset Street toward Healthy Living and Trader Joe’s.
We Work to Keep Your Water Clean
Formed in 2005, our stormwater utility maintains and improves the City's stormwater infrastructure. This includes management of water that runs off rooftops, paved and gravel roads, driveways, parking lots, and other hard services after a rain storm. This summer, there are several projects under construction to improve the current infrastructure, ultimately improving the water quality of the streams and Lake Champlain.
Your Team Keeping You Safe
The City's Public Safety team includes the police, fire & EMS, and public works departments. These men and women work around the clock to keep our community safe—whether that be clear plowed roads, emergency medical services, traffic control, or fire prevention.
Allard Square
Allard Square, located on Market Street is one of the new projects that was complete in 2018. This is an affordable housing community for seniors. There are 39 apartments located at Allard Square and 25 of the apartments are subsidized so renters only pay approximately 30% of their income.
To learn more about new projects please contact the Planning and Zoning office.
Our Parks and Natural Areas
Within the City, there are city parks, community parks, and natural areas. Along with these designated public spaces, recreation trails and paths run throughout the City.
WE ARE HIRING!
Our team is focused on keeping South Burlington one of the best places to live, work, and visit.
